Default Trailblazer I6 converter

I am fixing to do a cam swapon my 06 Crew Cab with a comp cam vr269 216/220 525/532 112 lsa. I have a trailblazer and wondering if it is going to be enough or I need to go bigger?? Thanks for any help.

What would you like to know? I havn't had any personal exp, but before i went with my verter thats what I was going to run. I havn't heard of 1 failure, behind a 5.3 they stall to 22-2600 It will be a tad better then stock. Hell I think my 3200 feels like stock now, I wish I would have went to 34 or 3600

the TBS is a good starting point for your mods and the cam youre wanting to stall, hadnt ran it, but read lots of good things about it, its a good money saver for right now

well there's a company out of houston circle d specialties(sponser on tech).they rebuilt these I6 tb stalls to whatever stall you want. they had a groupbuy on tbssowners dot com and about 16 guys bought them.i bought one for my silvy with a stall of 2400-2600 so i could still tow.
so far the tbss guys love um!!the normal price on them is $350 i think so only a fraction of some of the others.
pm me if you want more info from the tbss guys(links and such)
