First the Cobra now the Trailblazer is not close to advertised HP levels.
We bought a new Trailblazer a few weeks ago and I was checking the internet
for info. No FAQ yet , no mailing list yet, a couple of forums. Any way I
find a forum post that the 4.2l in one Trailblazer only dyno'd 190HP, works
out to be well below the 270hp claimed unless 28% is acceptable drive train
loss!
It definitely needs a roots type Supercharger with the 3.42 gears or the
5.3l and 4.10 gears!
