i highly recomend a msd ignition i think my 6a cost me around 200 bucks so not too bad and a definate impovement adding a wiring adapter makes the install a lot easier but its a simple install as is and tossing in a msd igniton coil will help a little and there around 50 to 100 depending on which one you get also go to s-10planet.com and pick up an egr mod. i have also heard about people taking off the throttle valve off the throttle body ( that thing that controls how much air goes into the engine) but i dont know if i recomond it since that might lower your gas mileage and if you screw up doing it a new throttle body is expensive.

oh i just remembered one more that i havent done just because i dont trust the idea to much but other people have removed the screen from their mass air flow sensor but if you already have an cai you might have took that off i dont know just another idea. but yeah check out s10planet since a lot of the s-10 and s-10 balzer are pretty identical when it come to the engine.


ok actualy im having a hard time finding that egr mod site so as soon as i do i'll post the adress for you unless some one else does first

the ignition to install just have to hook up a pos and neg wire to the battery and then either splice it into the existion wires to the coil or get the adapter which just plugs in with color coded wires as for hp propably 5 maybe 10 all depends on how stock and which msd model you go for torque will be about the same.

well i found it again took me 2 hours so heres the link to the egr mod

but im still a little unsure how to install what the hell is the egr tube?? i thought you had to take off the air conditoning unit but i guess not so if anyone has done this mod if they can explain the process in detail i would apreciate it also for buying it would you just buy for a blazer? since i think you have to have atleast a 96 would that be a s10 blazer or what?

the cheapest thing to do is weight reduction.
