Need more umph power :)

[T.Low]

I have no plans to be in BC, but shoot, you're only 45 minutes away.


I've got to get this Blazer parted out and out of my buddies barn, and other chores thant include house (we've been gone a lot lately, the neighbors are starting to wonder about the yard) and riding and paddling. Would like to install the t case into the Astro, but doubt that will happen this weekend.

But if a freind needs a performance check race, I'm there for him. Just flash the Astro Bat Signal into the night sky and I'll be there.

Sorry, what is this about a T-case!?
Great now dumb Abraham here is thinking ... If Tom is going T-Case and it works well which it will .. what is the cost of that!? And THEN TO go V8!?!?!
Good God ... I am torn with ideas and stuff. Thank the Lord I have to pay for bills otherwise I probably would have bought something BIG by now. Petey where is that PM!?

It's on it's way, bud! NOT!

Get the nitrous and be done with it. Plumb the injectors under the intake manifold, build a N2O pressure vessel into the frame or somewhere like that where it isn't evident. That's it! Presto. No dickin' 'round, and an EASY 50-100 horseys, depending on how much of a risk you wanna take.

You think!?!? You know so!!! haha
I think I am going through a mid-life crisis ... I miss my previous 383 V8 in the Firebird haha. Nawh just need some more umph power.

So I am ditching the PCM tune. Why cause even Brian (TBICHips) told me what I have done to the vehicle gains more than what he do for me. He said probably only 10hp and 5tq more if he programs one for me. HE also told me the headers are not worth it on my ride.

Then he said it. "Swap in a V8 - mid build to not blow your AWD tranny" and then get it tuned >.<

Calling all Vancouver folks....
Mr Crash aka KidHauler needs a V8 so I have build up some confidence and maybe go V8 route.

Don't bring me in to your half baked crazy talk. Besides I am looking at a 91 safari sle on saturday with 140 000km on it so if I buy that a V8 swap will be put on hold for at least 2-3 years and with the price of gas it sadly might not happen. Unless I do a natural gas v8... HHHHMMMMM cheap fuel and more power...... ](*,) ](*,) Why do I think of these things

Kevin ... you did look at Craigslist right? There are a few good buys out there including some late model ones. Did you also see the one with the VERY nice black paint with body kit and so on ... being sold cause he bought a corvette? There were a lot out there.

I am crazy I admit! As long as I dont come across as stupid
