The truck has gone through 3 different build levels with this being the final version. It has passed emissions in Texas the last two years. It starts and drives just like a stock truck, only with a deeper exhaust note. It idles at about 625 RPM in Drive and is very smooth.
Almost every component of this recently completed build has been completely reworked to include a much modified, MP112 Magnacharged, 6-liter iron block, Patriot aluminum headed LQ9 engine, a 4L65e transmission, modernized interior, and a killer sound system to accompany you on the back roads. If you want a Blazer that utilizes the best of the modern aftermarket to create an unforgettable driving experience, take a number and a closer look at this awesome truck.
First impressions are important and this Blazer makes one of the strongest possible. Original White paint with a beige leather interior, the truck is very clean, without any stripes or engine size logos or an obnoxious exhaust sound that would belie its stealthy performance. Since the goal was to not create a head-turning show-quality car, all the usual "perfectly imperfect" features are still present. This is a daily driver, not a show truck. It still has a roof rack, the stock Chevy logos are still on it. The all stock body features smooth panels, nice door panel alignment and a new windshield. However, with very little detail work, it would be a very nice show truck.
At the front of this Blazer, a stainless grille insert sits inside a Chevy S10 Extreme grill with a freshly painted front bumper and valence panel. Above that grille, a cowl induction hood is included, but not installed. At the back of the car, a single 2005 C6 Corvette flag emblem is centered on the hatch, just above two hidden stainless steel exhaust tips
Open the hood and you'll find a 6-Liter crate engine from GM Performance. Unlike the original LQ9, this one features a Patriot 2015 CNC lightweight high-flow aluminum heads with 67cc chambers. Chambers have been coated with a High Temp coating to help hot-spotting. Forged Diamond pistons with hand fitted rings, ARP head studs and rod bolts,10.0-1 compression, and a Thunder Racing Blower high-lift hydraulic roller Blower Cam. Of course, the polished Magnacharger 112 supercharger has been added for some extra power. A hydro-boost brake booster has replaced the stock vacuum booster. The supercharger is inter-cooled with a rear mounted heat exchanger with its own cooling fans. It is also cooled with a modified reservoir that includes a fitting for A/C Freon to flow through it in a sealed system. The engine is dressed with an 8-ribbed FEAD serpentine belt system based upon Corvette spacing. A Hydro carbon fiber coated 4" mandrel intake tube connects the Corvette 90mm Throttle body to the TBSS Airaid Air filter housed in an aluminum heat shielded housing. To the sides, spent exhaust gases are expelled through Stainless steel 1 3/4" long tube headers that are thermal coated and wrapped. These connect to two high flow metallic converters into a Stainless merge "Y" pipe into a 3.5" in/out polished stainless Magnaflow muffler. A stainless 3.5" pipe exits the Magnaflow muffler, goes over the axle and into a Spintech Crossflow muffler with twin outlets for a very, very quiet, but extremely low restriction exhaust note. At the front, an aluminum radiator cools the supercharged LS block with the assistance of dual electric fans and is assisted with fan driven engine oil and transmission oil coolers. Across from the radiator, a 185 Amp DC systems alternator provides spark and has power to spare for all of the accessories, a Sanden air compressor, and PSC power steering pump also spin off the serpentine belt. Turn the key, the drive-by-wire gas pedal talks to the PCM and the throttle body and the modern mill starts with ease. Julio installed one of his top of the line Methanol injection systems with a #10 jet. It is full automatic running off of the MAF sensor. Has activation LED's and tank level LED installed in the A-Pillar console.
The exhaust system is amazing! It's completely tucked above the frame rails.
Around the stock frame, the suspension mixes 3-Piston 13" front brakes with Edelbrock IAS shock absorbers and torsion bars adjusted for a stock ride height for a thoroughly smooth driving experience. In the center, a GM 4L65e Transmission with an FLT Stage 2 shift kit, Corvette servos and a stock torque converter makes quick work of shifting with a firm direct feel that's smooth under part throttle, yet makes the tires bark under W.O.T. To the rear, a stock S10 7.5 differential with all new 3.73 gears, a TrueTrac differential and a T/A differential cover puts the LS engine's power to the pavement. Braking is provided by a four-wheel disc brake setup which draws its power from the Wilwood master cylinder and a Hydratech hydroboost system under the hood. Steering is equally responsive thanks to a quick ratio ZQ8 gearbox. At the corners, 18-inch C6 Split Spoke wheels add some late-model Corvette styling to the modernized truck chassis. A fresh set of Nitto 420S high-performance tires connect the car to road.
Open the doors and you'll find an interior that continues the successful blending of classic and late-model GM pieces. Seating comes courtesy of supportive S10 leather seats wrapped in beige leather with Trailblazer stitching while, between the seats, a center console makes room for a floor shifter and a custom gauge cluster mounted in the center console holding an A/F meter, trans temp and intake air temp gauges. A Ravelco anti-theft system is also installed in this truck. From the driver seat, a stock instrument cluster monitor fuel, battery output, speed, revs, water temperature and oil pressure. To the left on the A-Pillar, a dual pod houses Autometer Boost and Fuel pressure gauges along with a Valet key Switch to prevent the blower from making boost. (Turn off the switch and it's a normally aspirated 6 liter engine!) The stock automatic air conditioning system controls reside in stock location. The stereo is definitely a sleeper point of the interior, consisting of a Stock GM head unit by a JLAudio 500/5 Amplifier, Boston Acoustics 6.5 Front Speakers, Boston Acoustics NX67 Rear Speakers and a JL Audio Stealthbox sub-woofer. The wood-rimmed Steering wheel is from a Cadillac Escalade and includes functional Stereo controls. The power sunroof and garage door controls are all in working order.
Driven mildly, it can get 18-19 MPG on the highway as long as it's kept out of boost (have to admit, it's hard to do ;-). It has always had a steady diet of 91 Octane gas (tuned for 91) and the only have used Mobil 1 Synthetic.
I have about 400 pictures of the build, a build thread on S10forums.com and all of the receipts.
Maintenance wise, it's just like a stock truck. It aligns as stock, it's at stock ride height, a tune based upon a 2003 K2500 truck. There are no CEL's. It drives straight, starts every time, no dieseling or other weirdness.
VIN: 1GNDT13W1Y2280890

Tuning:
The truck has gone through several stages of performance, with different chassis tunes for each level:
Final tuner was made at: Massport-Boca Raton, FL
Without the methanol injection, the truck made 420HP/405ftlb torque at the tires on 91 octane with a conservative "in-town" tune. Truck ran a 13.0 at 105MPH after driving 50 miles to track. Same 29" tall tires, no prep, full tank of gas, no burnout. Just pull to the line, put it in 4WD high, and hit it at the last yellow. 5 runs all about the same times. Truck weighs approximately 4,700 lbs.
Julio says (M1 100% Methanol) should add around 35-45 additional HP with a corresponding drop in E.T.
Passed emissions testing in Texas 2010-2013. I consulted with a rep from TXDot for emissions certification. Since it has Long Tube Headers, it would not pass visual inspection in CA....Sorry.....
Since the conversion was started, I've put about 7,500 miles on it. Currently has 64,000 miles on chassis. The truck is currently in St. Petersburg, Florida.
When it comes to current automotive trends, nothing is hotter than a Sleeper. The blending of stock styling and modern performance creates an undeniable appeal that just sneaks up on you. When stealth treatment is performed on something like a S10 Blazer, the end result is a truck that you can drive to work during the week and play on weekends. The demand for these trucks is unusual. There is a following of LSx-swapped S10 Trucks with several web forums providing details and support for swappers. With its blend of stock truck styling, this Blazer fits the Stealth formula perfectly. After driving it for about 3 years and putting about 20,000 miles on it, I decided it was time for a change.
Title, keys, and receipts will be exchanged once transfer has been confirmed.
This truck obviously doesn't have any warranty. It is a daily driver and while in excellent shape, should not be expected to be like new or showroom perfect. Light wear & tear, and minor flaws not mentioned here should be anticipated. $45,000 total investment, Truck and performance Parts.

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019
Tue, Nov 6 2018As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:
Chevy Colorado gets box delete option designed for upfitters
Fri, Mar 6 2015The Colorado, which marks the return of Chevrolet to the midsize truck segment, is receiving critical praise, and now it's time for the pickup to get to work. At the National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, Chevy is unveiling a box delete option package for the model that allows businesses to custom tailor the Colorado to their needs. The choice to remove the bed is exclusively available on the Colorado Work Truck trim in the rear-wheel drive, extended cab model with a 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic gearbox, and Chevy claims this is the only option of its type in the segment. Beyond the obvious loss of the rear, these trucks feature eight mounting points on the frame for upfitters to install any necessary modifications. They also get the Z82 trailering package and a locking differential. The versions with the box delete package carry a payload rating of 2,200 pounds an a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,001 pounds. "It's ideal for utility companies requiring service bodies, as well as landscapers and other businesses needing the utility of a flatbed," Ed Peper, US Vice President for General Motors Fleet and Commerical, said in the option's announcement. Further options with the package are limited to choosing a repositioned fuel filler for the upfitter to install and deleting the rear seat for extra interior capacity. The box delete becomes available in mid-April, and buyers get a $300 credit off the price of the Colorado when it's selected. Colorado 'Box Delete' Expands Options for Businesses Chevrolet package offers unique midsize pickup platform for alternative uses 2015-03-04 INDIANAPOLIS – With a box delete option, business owners and fleet managers can have it their way when it comes to customizing the back end of the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Chevrolet today announced availability of the package in mid-April. It is on display this week at the annual National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. It is the only such option offered in the midsize truck segment. "With the segment-leading efficiency and maneuverable size, the Colorado makes a great, flexible choice for urban businesses and fleets to make the most of a midsize truck," said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, GM Fleet & Commercial.
2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.
