stock wheels

take off the tow hitch, sound system, front sway bar, tailgate, passenger seat, middle console/seat

im not too confident that the hypertech will do much but im not experienced with them

i highly doubt you will break 15s with those mods

Take out as much weight as you can, put in some 93 octane if you don't already and throw the high octane tune from the HPP in there(SOTP meter said there was a difference with it in my '96 Blazer). If you can bump the shift points up a little bit(100-200rpm) that might help but, the 4.3L doesn't rev real high so it may run better with the stock shift points.

I bet you can hit a high 15 pretty easy like that.

Get your keys back first.
