I have 1993 1500 p/u and the air intake silencer was a big restriction. I ran several 1/4 mile tests and it was consistantly worth over a 1/10th on my warmed over zz4 with a flowed and programed TBI. You can go to GM and get a single corrigated tube that will pop in place of the silencer and the short corrigated section. If I remember correctly ask for the intake tube for a 1989 wt 2500 v8. If that doesn't work I have the part number somewhere and you can PM me. It also sounds better.

Nice Jon, super clean but gas is going to suck.

Thanks Chris. Yes, I finally got the hinges Friday! They look nice. I need some more info on them for my site.

Gas mileage will not be that bad. My Dodge Dakota was only getting 14mpg, and I'm getting a little better than that in the Blazer so I'm satisfied.

That sounds great, PM me with that P/N if you could. I'd love to get that.

Way to get the new ride all hooked up, Jon! I'm obviously partial but I love the versatility of that wheel! Musclecars, lifted 6 lug trucks, BMWs, It just works!
