Which is correct? “Blazing Fast Speed” or “Blazingly Fast Speed”?

Either blazing or blazingly could be valid.
We can use blazing to intensify fast, just as something can be burning hot or sopping wet, which sound redundant but are idiomatic. Blazingly, the usual adverbial form, would of course work in this manner.
We could alternatively read blazing and fast as parallel descriptors for speed, just as we can have soothing sweet tea or an amazing technicolor dreamcoat.
