Ok I was going to do a poll... But I guess you can't on this forum... Anyways how much gains (hp wise) can be expected with the following upgrades combined?
Hypertech Power Programmer III
Cat-back exhaust
Headers
Cold Air Intake
Your choices are:
Absolutely no gain
5-10 hp
10-20 hp
20-30 hp
30-40 hp
40-50 hp
More than 50 hp
But seeing as it's not a poll... You can pretty much put down whatever you want, lol... I really just want to see what peoples' different experiences have been with upgrading the 4.3L V-6, and how "bolt-on friendly" it is...

RE: Projected Gains
This is what I got on my blazer
Efan
Hypertech programmer
Accel 300+ ignition
Accel 9000 wires
Accel Super Coil
Cold Air Intake w/K&N filter
Performance Pullies Jet
Gibson Exhuast
B&M cooler and Pan
Royal Purple
and got about 50 to 60 @ the wheels
I want to put headers but have not found them for a 97 with a egr.
Everything was really easy two put on with the right tool. The pullies needed a small impact wrench with power. The efan was easy to install the hard part was the clutch fan needed a impact hammer to turn the nut but good increase. The royal purple is awesome. Accel is awesome too easy as connecting two wires. Pullies is a big increase but not recommended for vehicles that use lots of alternator juice. The gibson is a must for sound with the performance. Very easy to put on just a pain to take the old one off. Hypertech is nice becuase it give you power and changes your shift to make it stop shifting like a granny, feels like a different truck with it. Let me know if you need help with any install or ideas.

That is what I see when I go to post a new topic. I don't see where I can post a poll anywhere...

Polls are disabled by the administration... Sorry. I had to get added just to run the ROTM forum.
Ivannj, I would be surprised if you have a combined additional hp over 40hp. Since you have no idea where you started, we'll never know. And how many times do I have to say it, Royal Purple is just another oil. It is NOT a performance mod or even a mod in any sense of the word. Although the tranny pan and cooler are a modification from stock, they are not a performance mod.
