Default Trailblazer straight 6 cylinder Engine

Has anyone done any work on one of those? I thinking about using one in a pretty lightweight car that will be different.
I'm probably mostly looking at if someone have ported the head on them and maybe other camshafts. I have not seen any info about this engine out there but to me it gives a pretty decent power output in stock trim. I was thinking of getting it up to maybe 330-350 HP with no cat free flow exhaust, some headwork/camshaft and tuning.

350 from these engines wont be hard, a simple tune with EFI live, or HP tuners a decent header and a full exhaust *SHOULD* get you where you need to be. if you want to make stupid power

www.selfracing.com give them a call and tell them Matt told you to call. Kevin has his little race car doing 7.90s with this engine Naturally asperated. with two dominators on it, his cams, old school MSD distributor, aluminum rods' there own piston design ect ect these guys KNOW the I6's

Default 6=8

Twin Turbo's, Crower rods, CP pistons, my valves (EJ-25), springs, main studs, head studs, Crower cam "regrinds" are some of the changes I have installed.

My best "tip", I fitted a North Star (2005), rocker arm to correct the valve/rocker alignment with the reground cams.
