RE: i wanna get sum tips
so say if i could come up with the few thousand dollars to buy a pretty new 32v intech say with a supercharger would it still clear my hood because i know the intake manifold is different and if i kept the same tranny would it bolt up and what about the kick down cable i would need more cable or is there a way to make my current automatic 4 speed tranny better

RE: i wanna get sum tips
I agree with these guys, your car is a tank!
You'd have to do A LOT of weight reduction to get that thing moving. Trucks and Blazers aren't fast. I know, I have both owned them and raced against them.
Your best bet would be just minor stuff to make it a little quicker and save a few bux for a lighter car to mod to holy hell. An old fox would be a good place to start.
If you are really set to do this to the car you have, be ready for a lot of heart break. Like everyone says, you'll need some time and money to get it fast. Do some google'ing and see what you come up with. I'm sure someone out there has done this before.

RE: i wanna get sum tips
as said above, weight reduction is the key, if i was having to turn that car into something people would race, it would need a gutted/heavily removed interior, once you get there, then you'll probably just want to p&p intake/heads...cheap upgrades? Unless you find something online (and check here bout ebay style stuff first if it looks fishy) then you in luck, otherwise it will have to be completly custom one-off piece, because if people arn't racing them, they're not going to make parts for them
othe than that you can just get a titanium supercharger to add to your new whip[8D]
