I doubt you'll find a shop that specializes in s-series vehicles, let alone the Blazer/Jimmy.
As far as performance, can you do engine work or are you interested in bolt ons only? What are you looking to get out of it? How much do you have to invest?

Shops are going to have to be a local thing. Performance-wise, really the best thing you can do for the money is a PCM tune. Run a search with "PCM tune" and you'll find some good info and a few members that have done this already.
Most go with an intake and exhaust. That's about it when it comes to cheap stuff.
Anything more and you're looking at $$$. Parts aren't too incredibly bad, but unless you know what you're doing, it's the installation that can kill you. Cams, ported heads, headers, etc. etc. They all get pricey.

Performance and good gas mileage are inversely related, as you will soon find out. One goes up, the other goes down and vice versa. I'd prefer to build a strong engine that will last forever than to build a quick engine that has to be tended to every weekend.
