When Lingenfelter said it was working
on performance boosts for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, multiple owners of the latest Chevrolet Blazer pointed out that
their SUV had the same engine type.
Lingenfelter agreed to launch a Blazer
version of the upgrade as well. By default, the car comes equipped with a
3.6-liter six-cylinder engine rated at 312 hp and 366 Nm of torque. The tuner fits an Edelbrock TVS1740 supercharger on it,
raising the power by almost 50% to 456 hp at the crank.
The maximum obtainable torque remains
to be assessed, but the shop will throw in a suspension and brake upgrade for
the model. The entire kit will cost US$ 6,995. Later on, another package
might emerge with 507 hp at the crank, but this one is in the rumor
area right now.
The U.S. version of the Blazer also
ships with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine rated at 195 hp and
255 Nm of torque. A turbocharged 2.0 V4 will complement the range
later with 233 hp and 350 Nm of torque.
