I know I posted something like this up top but here is a better review I think.
2002 Trailblazer I6
265,200 Miles
I am going to post the review here and also on the GMT website. So here it goes, upon receiving my trailblazer after the new goodies, I was speechless to say the least. The shop is about three hours from my home and a buddy was driving my trailblazer back, so I had to play in it just for a second before I turned it over to him. Now at the time the intake was the first thing I was interested to hear and see what performance was added. Now in summary the performance parts I already had installed on the truck included aftermarket flowmaster exhaust, SuperSparkz, PCMFORLESS Tune, and Royal Purple Synthetic Oil. So I pulled out of there lot and headed to the closes straight road. At first I just got down on it from a rolling stop. Whoa! Is all I can say the RPM’s shot up and brace yourself, my trailblazer actually pushed me back in the seat some. The intake adds a sleeper profile to the truck. The intake is unheard at anything below 2,500 RPM. Whether you stomp the throttle or lay into it gradually it sounds as if a beast is ready to be unleashed. Given I know this is not a SS by a long shot, but hey let a college student dream. As for under the hood, the intake looks as if it belongs there, it mounts straight to the throttle body and just gives of a clean gleam. Now, because I had two installs with great PCMFORLESS parts done at the same time it is tough to say which did what, but it’s obvious that both are well worth installing. Now for some performance in the way of horsepower and gas mileage; first lets tackle the first on my mind with being a college student away from home, gas. I stopped to fill up the truck about 80 miles from my home, and when we got home the gauge had barely moved. Now given from things I have read the gauges are not that accurate however I put another 250 miles on it and I am now just venturing into the area below a quarter tank. Now I know this is not excellent but you must factor in all the playing that the truck had to take over about 4 hours of travel and a fair amount of city driving. Especially hard in between lights when some little punk tuner felt he needed to rev up his 93’ civic. I will be the first to say that my trailblazer is not an idea candidate for baseline performance mods. Being that my truck now has 265,200 miles on it and to say the least the transmission has seen better days. That’s okay though, from the performance and gas mileage I have gained I can hardly wait to see what it does after my tranny rebuild in the summer. Now on to the E-fans, unlike the intake you will barely know its there at all. Maybe a little bit of noise at a red light if you’re really trying to pay attention, quite frankly it was a lot better than the clunky fan that previously occupied that space. The staff was super informative on all aspects of the mods my truck received. Kelly came outside and gave me a walk through and was super polite. If anyone is thinking about dealing with this company it is an absolute no brainer. I have dealt with them thru mailing in my PCM and in person. They are fast quality workers at the least. To design, fabricate, and install an intake and new E-fan setup in a week flat is more than impressive. I can say that I was very impressed with all the products I received from PCMFORLESS. If you use your trailblazer for commuting or just flat out wanting performance with horsepower and gas mileage they have your solution. They have now started offering bundle deals and occasionally you can catch them with a seasonal sale. The prices are more than fair in comparison to other parts in more franchised realms of the performance industry. Hope you guys enjoy all the parts you buy from PCMFORLESS in the future it will be well worth it and with gas going the direction it is headed, the new parts will pay for themselves in no time. To the guys at PCMFORLESS my truck is ready for loan at anytime, keep up the good work.
