When Lingenfelter said it was working on performance boosts for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon (watch the video for details), 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 (233 kW) and 366 Nm (270 pound-feet) of torque. The tuner fits an Edelbrock TVS1740 supercharger on it, raising the power by almost 50% to 456 hp (340 kW) 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 U.S. $6,995.
Later on, another package might emerge with 507 hp (378 kW) 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 (145 kW) and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) of torque. A turbocharged 2.0 V4 will complement the range later with 233 hp (174 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque.
