Heck yeah that 4200 moves out very well against that SS. Just bought me a 2007 TB LS 2wd today. Has 144k on her, very clean leather interior and great gray exterior well kept. Plan to get stage 1 4L60E transmission and 373 rear end gear before starting turbo kit for 4.2. This channel, this build is a true inspiration to me plus many others!

It’s a fun truck and I’m glad it’s my first Bought it for $800 (leather seats) The Donor envoy was $700 Your videos give out so much information thanks and just gives me more reasons to keep her

Just found your channel and I hope your subs go through the roof. I think you'll get there. It's been fun getting to see the 4200's potential. I watch hours and hours of build content, from the well knowns to the unknowns and you are one of very few who respond consistently to your viewers questions and input, and it's awesome. Gonna keep watchin' as long as you keep postin'.

While I agree with your assessment that a boosted Atlas is a very economical platform (vs. an AWD 6.0L), you'll still need to rebuild your stock tranny and rear soon enough. The tranny and torque converter will put you into the price range of the SS, which also comes with a 4L60 variant (4L70-not a 4L80-unless you upgraded that yourself). Either way, looks like a lot of fun to be had with the 4200 engines! I look forward to picking one up in the future! You've gained me as a subscriber!

I was there racing that day, didn't get a chance to talk to you. I did film that last pass, hadn't published my video yet - didn't want it to be a spoiler. lol Was hoping you had gotten the 2-3 shift worked out. I feel like a good stall converter and all the shifts happening when they should is worth half a second minimum... likely close to double that.

A cheap way to get better gears in the for your tblaze would be to find a set of axles out of a 3rd row tb or a non ss v8 they have 3.73 and a bigger bolt in rear axle got my 3.73 g80 set for 100 bucks

True. The only reason i havent done that is because it was more difficult to find a 3.73 front diff. I got a 4.10 front diff right off the bat lol

Interesting. I've always wanted to put a turbo in something. I learned to tig weld but decided the "dream build" was a hell of a lot more work than I was really interested in doing. 😅 This seems like a very good compromise. 👌👌👌 Thank you. This is my new idea of what I could build. Haha. Is this the power limit max, or do you plan to run some more boost in the future?

I personally would stay with the 3.42s and let the power pull it vs having more shifts, i went from 3.27s to 3.73s in my car and only gaines were more rpm cruising and another 1200rpm through the traps….biggest issue was planting the tire with 3.73 as it would spin more and often vs 3.27s let it ride out with same 60’ (1.38-140)
