Trailblazer SS

Does this belong to anyone here? Looks damn nice and so do the numbers with the MP122.

That is Joe's tbss out in cali. He is a maggie dealer and it is a very nice build, I have been following for awhile.

thats a sweet ass TBSS right there. Does he have any track times on it?

The only problem i see is the trans, all that work and to keep the stock trans, even built wasnt the best idea. With a 4L80E, or even a 6L80E/6L90E swap that thing would be bullet proof.

I would'nt say it was a stock transmission.

well i said even thought its built its still the weak link, the 4L60E is a matter of when it will break not if.

IMO, it would have been money better spent upgrading to a 4L80E, or the new 6L90E trans, and had improvments in both 60' due to the low 1st gear and HWY MPG due to the extra OD's. But again thats just my $.02. Still a sweet TBSS.

Why has he done all this work and is now selling it?

I just talked to him 2 weeks ago and he said nothing about selling it. To much hp, not enough traction. One of Allen's dyno queens he talks about? Bored? http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y80...h_MVI_1122.jpg

well theres no such thing as to much HP, always a shame to see this level of work done only to put it up for sale. This would be a sweet deal for anybody outside of cali, but might be bad come inspection time in cali due to the headers.
