2008 BMW 328i/2007 SS trailblazes vs 87 iroc

A good friend of mine has both vehicles.We just recently caught back up with each other and started hanging out again.he started taliking about how his cars would beat mine.He remembers when I first bought the car and remembered it did have a 305.Hes actually the guy who got me into third gens years and years ago.After he talked his smack he tried to buy my car lol.

2008 328i sedan auto stock Inline 6 3.0 230 hp/200 tq
2007 TRAILBLAZER SS stock with no muffler(still sounds good) ls2 400 hp/400 tq(what he said)

My car
87 iroc 3500 lbs with driver.list of Mods in sig and vb garage.Trans is acting UP.
25,00 miles on engine.10.5:1 cr,New ZZ4 revised casting heads,Lt4 production cam with 1.6 full r.r.,new gmpp block and internals,2500 stall,3.42 gears,shift kit and vette servo,hooker 2460 headers into custom dual 2.5 y into 3" i pipe,afpr,msd digi 6,flowmaster muffler.Basicly stock tpi.255/50/16 rear bfg g-force,Best timeslip I can find was an 8.8 1/8th which was before gear,stall,header swap.Most were around 9 seconds all on street tires.

I know the bmw is about 2 or 3 hundred pounds lighter and the trailblazer is much heavier.His g tech was giving him around 10 second 1/8ths in both vehicles.Ive driven the car and its a quick car but with a good launch I think I got him.Not sure about the truck,i need to resaerch it.

I may put him off til I get my intake finished porting and get my new injectors in.

Are you still running the stock TPI? If so what chip tuning have you done?

Your combo is stout, but depending on the afore mentioned items your car could be a low 13 second car or a high 14 second car.

Brian at tpi chips did my prom for me.I did some dattalogging and sent it back in a couple more times to get it dialed in a little better.The tpi is stock as of right now but not for long.Just need to finish up a little more porting a slap my new one on.

Sounds like you have a pretty good shot, however I have seen some of those new Trailblazers get down right nasty with almost nothing done to them. But if it's mostly stock I'd say you're still in good shape, IMO anyway.
