finished the first page, saw there was a second full page, assumed there were 8 pages more and didn't finish... make them shorter. that much information is too much aggregate to make conclusion from anyway. Also, ask age ranges and more car related questions like; favorite engine platform, favorite auto manufacturer, what brands they recognize, or previously purchased... KEEP US ENGAGED, NOT BORED. Be creative.

These guys are idiots

[@blairski22]

haha! 6:39 he stripped the hell out of the mount hole for the coil packs... TOO MANY UGGA DUGGAS BUD!

I was thinking the same thing

[@loop2962]

Super underrated video

[@marshallwilliams4054]

Kind of disappointed you guys went directly to supercharging. So many bolt on kits for heads, cam combo that will push that engine well past 500 HP N/A. I think that would’ve been more interesting

[@Skilver-vg8oe]

Yeah but you have to remember who is sponsoring this build, no shop is going to do this for shits and giggles.

[@thesmokingunnthomasestevan7155]

And its non intercooled lol thats gonna make great power when its hot 🤣🤣

[@danielmeyer135]

I was hoping they were just going to beef up the stock drive train and show what they were able to due on a poor man's budget.

[@mikestoms4015]

Nice job stripping the coil pack bolt.. real qualified “mechanics”. Wouldn’t let you do an oil change at my shop.

[@MichaelDurig1]

It maybe because I'm an older guy, but trashing a set of tires without being the fastest in a race just don't make sense to me. Good handling, Way Cool. Great LS power with a stick, outstanding. Tractor cab interior, okay. I'm just not down with drifting I guess. I would be good at it growing up in Ohio driving my 63 Dodge Dart. I always went to the GM factory parking lot after the first snow and did donuts until my head was spinning. The goal was to correct and keep going in a straight line. Enjoyed the show. Perhaps you guys could re-visit the Trailblazer platform with a goal of hot rodding the 4.2 six. Turbo with a six speed and handling upgrades. I'll be standing by. Thanks guys, this show was much better.

"We don't deal a lot with hot charge stuff" Yeah there's a reason for that! I'm sure he was thinking "We don't deal a lot with incompetence"

[@brando7655]

Damn you could fit the Eiffel Tower between them wheels & finders lower that bad boy a little bit

[@4BillC]

There's a reason innercoolers are a thing! Not only will it get you more power, but your engine will probably last longer too!

[@sock979]

How could you not put an intercooler on that. I know it's not made for that vehicle but they did all that work you couldn't go a bit further and do it right with an intercooler I'd run a liquid on it there's room and really should try to get that intake filter out of the engine compartment if at all possible

[@wes3317]

Why do they keep saying supercharger wine 🙄. That’s only with a roots style supercharger.

[@bradyelich2745]

They never heard my Sportster run, or any HD probly.

[@sock979]

actually I had a vortec V3 and there can be a wine to centrifugal superchargers It's just not as noticeable or as cool as a roots are twin screw type

[@silverfischdotnet]

So... did they just leave that giant hole in the front fender? Won't that supercharger get covered in gunk?

[@lahirudf1791]

Clearance problems? Hack up the wheelwell lol .... Just the lack of care or even enthusiasm for cars is hilarious with these two

[@isaacvargas1423]

Called it a mod. Lol scary. 🤣

[@jord9308]

How about water/meth for charge cooling?

[@PANTYEATR1]

i wish they would have shown what they did at the "vent" port of the fuel pump...you want to do something untraditional? build a V8 that shows the most power it can make on regular gas💪

[@bigredracer7848]

200👍's up power nation thanks again for taking the time for us all to be with you

[@lazaroandrade4132]

Love the video’s!! You guys help me learn so much. Keep up the nice work

[@Wreckless_Garage]

Loved when he said "we have clearance, clearance." Little Airplane reference 😂

[@Blaze54547]

I fir sure miss mine, the transmissions are known to go out. Its the same exact transmission they put in the regular that and mine got vandalized so I sold it. I wish I hadn't, im looking for a new LS powered vehicle and everything's rear end is glass or has some big issues ( just like the trailblazers ss weak transmissions and the oil pump is in the front of the pan not rear) but you just add an extra qt of oil for the rear end is stock is good for 1000whp. The CTS V AND GTO are known to have crappy rear ends but thats cheaper and easier to do than a transmission, then there's that power to weight ratio... don't get me wrong I might buy another because there's nothing like passing that little sports car or truck that thinks its sort fast and has a giant engine until you come along and pass them comfortably in you 5,000lb 4 door suv. And with long tubes/no cats and pretty much straight piped the thing sounds like a monster with its LS2

[@chriscole8802]

I would definitely trade my trailblazer for yours any day!! I definitely need upgrades on pretty much everything on mine

[@blackericdenice]

Will they put a brother on a show?.

[@smokeybandit4910]

Are we not going to mention the fact that they replaced all the "high mileage parts in the drivetrain" and didn't touch the axle.

[@gaborsvt]

Couldn't help but notice how flimsy the front of the hood is!! Clearly it needs to be strengthened at the front lip!!

[@toyotafan1234]

First trailblazer I see with enkei rpf. Looks dope

[@masaakigagen4267]

Awesome truck!

[@crewzero3586]

That's an suv not a truck

[@edwardmyers1746]

Yall just took the sponsorship/ad money and chucked the wanna be parts and look at that thing

[@jayeewayee3854]

You guys will get it smoother lol

[@domc2772]

Is that a good idea to use a hose clamp to hold the fuel pump pickup down? I'm sure that will cause problems if that comes loose from vibrations? I would of made some sort of set screw or something. It would make me uneasy. Love the channel though.

[@jakebrandt8073]

Angle. You need angle and coil overs. That’s always number 1 over anything.

[@marshubbs7078]

They both bounce and move their hands with every word during the on camera narration. It is distracting as hell.

[@matbroxb1008]

Well now that you said something 😆

[@thesmokingunnthomasestevan7155]

Wish it would have been intercooled lol good heads cam package would surpass a non intercooled supercharger especially when its hot outside 🤣

[@ronniegonzales4075]

I was wondering what happened with the parts and rims ..I was looking for some parts

Can someone tell me if the Rear Diff is similar to the ones in say a 05' Trailblazer LS v8? (My daily driver) Just curious for later possible upgrades.

[@wicked650s]

STOP!! PLEASE STOP!!!

[@lahirudf1791]

Anybody else notice that the exhaust cutout is wayyy too close to the gas tank. Also "hot charge"? Really? You're going to run a constant high rpm drift-car without any kind of intercooler? i love watching builds but it just feels like half-assing

[@sdusb1243]

That's what I was thinking. Plus they're only running 5-6 pounds, I know they can build more, they stripped out a coil pack, etc. Idk what they're doing, because I like these shows even though they're glorified ads for parts (Not bitching, I like auto parts so), but.... Kinda dropped the ball. The Aussies build burnout cars with 1,000+ all day long as beginners.

[@lahirudf1791]

@@sdusb1243 I just feel like they didn't care at all on this particular build. The trailblazer is probably gonna have the fancy parts pulled back off after filming and the shell tossed in a junkyard someplace.

That 4.10 rear-end can take it

It’s not gonna be getting traction anyways, it will be fine

More than you will want to spend. Huge wast of time trying to build an SUV for drifting...

[@mikemmcmeans]

air intake temperature??!??

[@lahirudf1791]

No idea what they meant by "old school hot charge". Probably a hotrodder/drag race thing ... They'll definitely ruin that supercharger and maybe even the engine after the serious heat soak that setup is gonna have
