3)remove a leaf spring to aid in weight transfer.
4) Rancho type traction bars, these help significantly with wieght transfer. I ran slapper bars for a while and they are marginal.
5)Lower the tire pressure on the stock tires, the recommended 32psi is way too much for good traction. If I recall I usually ran 26psi.

Now all I gotta do is get the $$.

If that blazer was running 15.7's stock it's a freak, that's like a 10.1 in the 8th and the fastest i've saw a blazer run in the 8th all stock was 10.8. But not calling BS b/c i have saw plenty of factory freaks, but this is the first blazer

Well in the 1/8th with everything removed from the interior except drivers seat and dash, 58 degree, launching @ 2200rpm's, heated up stock radials, and intake i ran 10.21 so that helps out quite a bit- O yeah 1/4 mile time is with everything as above- im sure if i was @ stock weight with 80+ temps i would've only pulled a 10.6 or 10.7
