Taymak, could you post some specs of what you did and used? I have a 95 blazer and i think they are both the same.
Thanks

Yeah me too. My question is what he used for the Heatshield. And it looks really close to the alternator? Does that cause any problems?

the rubber tube that connects with the metal tube drops down with the filter pushed as far in as it can go and its just like hanging there, what can i do to support it i know you said something about a metal strap but i dont see where i can put it to make it more ridged

An intake like that won't really help more than the stock one without a heat shield. A heat shield blocks all the hot air under the hood from getting into the engine. The point behind a COLD AIR INTAKE is just that, to draw in COLD AIR
If you add some sort of support bracket to the intake pipe, that would stop it from "drooping down".
Below are some pictures of my intake. There is a small semi-circular bracket connected to an L bracket which is connected to a bolt on the fusebox. Hopefully, that's not too confusing.
