Oh, cool, I didn't know that Project R could do a conversion like this. I'll have to give them a pm.

i think most of you guys are missing the FLY WHEEL HP part,

the basic bolt ons and a cam would be close, i dyno'd 325rwhp with an lq4, cam, intake and cutout, no headers or head work and no other bolt on's, thru a power consuming driveline(25%+?). with a 25% figure that would put me at 433flywheel hp.

add headers and there it is. i would do a stall for sure

What cam, intake, converter would you guys recommend for a daily driven 4x4 that will see some high speed desert action every once in a while? The Blazer is pretty heavy so I think low end torque would probably be preferred when it comes to the cam. Any recommendations?

Thanks
James
