Damn. Got them to knock off $1500 from the trailblazer and up the trade in $500.

Any chance this was related to the bad runs at the track in Osceola a few weeks ago?

When I fixed it, the misfire went away and it ran a lot smoother. So yea, I guess it was a related problem.

those look great in white I'd never buy one b/c I drive too much and would probably spend $500/mo in gas alone but there are great deals on SUVs right now you can get one way below cost b/c no one wants those gas hogs anymore

[silvergtjrad]

I filled it up for the first time today. It took almost $75 to fill 3/4 tank of premium @ 4.50

I'd be worried about the grenading transmission problems they have. Nice looking truck though.

Im hitting up the track to get some stock times tomorrow.
I bought the stainless works lmf catback yesterday, going to do CAI, E fans, and headers, and put my nitrous kit on it all at the same time. Only have to have it tuned once then.

Besides that stuff, I want to powder coat the wheels black and do a small drop. Bigger brakes up front would be nice too, but im not completely familiar with all the mods available for the tbss yet.

Don't forget the tune, I have a canned one now from PCMforless. But after I put headers on I am going to have it dyno tuned.

I have, CAI, 160 thermo, e-fans, Corsa sport, tranny cooler, hsrk.

Kooks 1 3/4" headers and catted Kooks Y-pipe on the way.

Go over to the tbss website and get in on the group buy for the front and rear k-bee coilovers, adjustable, and the best way to drop.

Thanks for the heads up.

[stewartfn18]

very nice. seems like the new upgrade from a GA is the TBSS instead of a GTO. personally, i would still buy a GTO, but i cant see myself in an SUV. still a nice vehicle though.

[boost21]

you wernt at rsd's at great lakes were you?

[silvergtjrad]

A little update guys, Im not around here too much anymore beyond just a little browsing. The TBSS has been treating me well, besides the gas mileage. My mod list has grown quite large in the past 6 months. In fact its almost making me sick how much money Ive got into it already! All of it except the transmission, panhard bar (gift), and catback were paid for by selling the mods from the grand am. I still have $2k worth of stuff sitting around too....

IeatSRT8 CAI, Stainless works catback, PCMforless tune, Dynotune nitrous kit with a HSW TB plate (100 shot), ADM C6 electric fan conversion, 180* t-stat, Aeroforce gauge in the dash, DJM upper control arms (front), Belltech lowering shocks (front), Suicide doors adjustable panhard bar, Spohn adjustable upper control arms (rear), Rear lowered on stock air ride, painted the rear bumper CETA style, tinted tail lights, de-badged some crap, painted the front and rear bowties black, transmission cooler,Kooks 1 3/4" longtubes with an offroad y pipe (not installed yet) its getting an RPM Level 6 4L70 and Vigilante 3200 triple disc stall the 30th of this month.

Have you taken it to the track with all those mods?

The longtubes and trans/stall arent installed yet, but yes. 13.027 @ 108 2.08 60' It needs a better tune no doubt. There is a TON of timing pulled all of the time for the nitrous and just feels like a dog. With the stall, longtubes and a better tune I have no doubt it will hit a 12.4 or better on some 1.7x 60's

[Nick-G]

Damn that's one quick TB.

Its actually quite slow compared to other trucks with similar mods. There are some 2wd guys running deep 12s with bolt ons.....

That just goes to show how much I know about the TBSS well it's still not slow and it seems like it's coming along pretty good.
