I'd go with the LQ9 and leave the rest for mods.

i think 06 trailblazers had 58x reluctor wheel so that would make it more difficult to swap for you. But easy for me where's this at?

LQ9 would be cheaper if you are planning on swapping over all your accessories and intake. I would open up the motor and see if anything in the top end needs to be replaced too.

The LS2 will require some harness extensions due to different sensor locations. If you can spare the extra cost, this is the way I would go.

It was difficult before but not anymore since LINGENFELTER makes this now "TRG-001 58X TO 24X CRANK SENSOR TRIGGER OR RELUCTOR WHEEL CONVERSION MODULE"
