Default fuel injection

I was wondering can you do a fuel injection set up on the first gen blazers, if so how. what upgrades do they have for the cpi to make it more reliable. does the fuel pump really go out a lot. i was thinking about just getting a walbro fuel pump to solve that problem if it does happen. sometimes it takes just a few second to start up when the truck is cold does that have ta do with the cpi set up? if you can just give me insight...im new to chevy and want to make this a reliable truck. i hear there is a lot of problems that come with owning one ie egr valve, cpi setup, heater core, window motors, rear window defroster, etc. tell me more please

About the only upgrade to the CPI fuel system is getting a regulator kit from LinderTech.com which adapts the later, more robust, FPR from the SCFI engine to the CPI spider.

As far as fuel pumps go, stay with a reputable brand (AC Delco or Delphi) and you'll be fine. The cheaper aftermarket pumps do not last.
