Performance Upgrades

96 BlaZeR · 01-20-2005, 06:57 PM

I have a 96 s10 blazer, and im wanting to upgrade it so i can race it and do fairly well. Its the 4 door model, hope that doesnt hurt. According to websites the 0-60 is 9.5 stock, what are some things i can do to race my 0-60 time and 1/4 mile time? and can someone tell me of anyone who has a blazer like mine, and what it turns on the track?

-Thanks-

I know alot of people will prolly think i should just buy a new car, since im only 16 idk if id be allowed to buy a new car. Id like to see what it would cost me to make the blazer ast, then compare that to a camaro or trans am used.

The Blazer is an SUV, NOT a race machine.

It is not intended, built, setup or targeted towards speed.

You will have to dump LOADS of money to make it anything close to a racing machine.

Face it, it weighs two TONS.

It also has the aerodynamics of a brick.

Very true, people just need to think reality when it comes to this kind of truck.

If you want to go fast, buy a sports car or at least SOMETHING intended for that purpose.

For the money of upgrading a blazer to be fast, you can easily buy a slightly older low mileage mustang.

You could always try turning it into a early '90s style GMC Typhoon
(Quite fast for a dynamic brick, a turbo charged 4.3)

Search for Typhoon/Syclone parts here;
