This is my first gm. I have a 07 trailblazer ss. How much power can this engine take before i will have problems. I plan on some power adders, either a supercharger and exhaust, or heads cam intake exhaust combo. What do i do to help the transmission with any of these.

 

not much at all, send it here and I'll trade you this 5.3 that's "race proven"







Welcome to the forum. This is one of the most colorful subjects covered on this forum. The only one true answer is IT depends.

 

At least enough to run high 11's to mid 12's if done right.

 

the motor is way more capable than the trans will ever be. the only hope for it is luck and prayer.

 

Sounds like i should just leave everything stock.

 

That's :crazy: yeppers, stock is cool, no headaches, no debt, nothing to prove but it sure is boring compared to highly modified

 

What fun would that be? You gota live!

 

mod that beast stock sucks.

 

Ive seen them handle 8psi S/C and alittle nitrous, also a better tranny if yours poops out

 

trans will break before motor
