Hey glad you aren't loosing the Blazer, though. I'm curious, what mileage did your motor crap out at? My '00 has 115K on it and runs beautifully. Just replaced the oil cooler lines cause they were leaking. Thought mine had a very minor motor tick but it was the PCV valve...weird.
Oh and, your signature pun is funny. Especially since just today I found a website that sells 4.3 supercharger kits to get you up to 337 HP.

Hmm, I may have been a little misleading cause I can't seem to find parts for sale on this site. Now that I look at it closer I think it's just this magazine's thing they do that they probably want to do for you for tons of money. <a href="http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/performance/163_0212_2002_chevrolet_s_10_blazer/handling.html">But here's what I was looking at</a>.

RE: So here I was driving down the road...
Yeah I was looking at those. Makes me wish I had money. I'd go for about 300HP on my 4.3. I wouldn't be inclined to push that engine much harder than that. For more than 300HP I think I'd do a V8 swap.
. I like where your head's at!

RE: So here I was driving down the road...
Hah yeah, I could super a 350! But at the same time, I've got a Nova. And the Nova is going to be bone stock all except for a nice 572 swap or something. Or maybe the Nova should be the turbo 350...there's lots of indescision while waiting for the funds!

RE: So here I was driving down the road...
Yeah the 572 I really want for the Nova is 750HP, but it's also $13,000. Plus, I'd have to modify the suspension a lot and at least mini-tub it, which I don't want to do to this one. I want this Nova to be completely original looking, down to the jade interior. What's really fun is I'm taking Paint, Body, and Welding classes, and I'm going to take Upholstery, Suspension and probably electrical. So, I'm doing all the work myself.
