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.

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.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
