Default Throttle Body Spacer

Put on a PowerAid Throttle Body spacer, I haven't noticed much of a difference but the sound is pretty cool. I need to calculate my gas mileage, that was my main reason for buying.

well its been awhile since I've posted. But over the weekend my fuel filter was clogged so wouldnt turn over...was WAY past overdue. So thanks to this Write-up https://blazerforum.com/forum/articl...-thread-13457/ it was an easy fix. My door pin has since broke so I guess thats the next fix on the list.

Did some calculating today to put a Cummins 4bt in the blaze and unless I win the lottery, it ain't going to happen. The total cost I came up with was around $15,000 and then if I get someone to install it, that is another $4,000. Even if I did the swap, the better fuel economy wouldn't pay off for a decade or 2. So needless to say, a 4bt swap is taken off the table now. A 350 is looking more appealing by the day though lol.
