Is there a performance / mileage improvement?

On my Blazer I havent driven it enough to really notice alot of how it has changed anything yet. However I have noticed on the low end it has made an improvement..It gets up and going much faster than it did prior to installing them.

Now when these were on my s10 xtreme pick up. I noticed a big change in low end performance and with both hooked up I got about an extra 7-9 mpg..As far as horse power I never had it dynoed to really see numbers but it sure felt like there was gains...As I said I still had these from my previous ride so figured why not install them..On my previous I also had the hyper tech power programmer III and I had the specs set up for the TBS and FIPK so Im not sure if that helped the the best potential out of the pieces or not... I hope to snag up another programmer soon..

Just sprayed the blazer 2.0 Italian Olive satin finish. Ran out of paint to do the roof. Pics when I get back later this week from work.

After going to the junkyard, broke my glovebox door.

Of course, they had two first gens with mint consoles in dark gray. I do like my 2nd gen more though. One 1994 4 door Blazer had a PERFECT dark gray cloth interior. Kind of wished I'd grabbed the dash before someone else does.

lol got started EARLY this morning. went out and started cleaning out ol' red

she started up fine thought it was kinda odd that the parking break light was still on after releasing it. figured on a busted line.an sure enough found it ... i need to drop the tank to get at the lines . i may take the time and fix the vent tubes and fuel lines in that area at that point.

i did find one thing that is really friggin cool...
a pair of white and orange dotted gloves with GM stamped in on them in a bag with an orange flag in both the Jimmy and the Blazer!!!

1. which side of your truck is your alt located on?
2. how much wire did you end up using total?

I plan on finally getting around to this, this weekend, I might, however need more wire unfortunately. Since the alt is on the drivers side
