Default Socal 98' Hi Guys

Hey everybody, Totally new to owning a blazer, I've had it for about a month now. Sadly I was in an accident in my Jeep Classic, my off-roading baby. And I bought the Blazer as a cheap 4x4 as I will be going to college in Montana and wanted a 4x4 for the snow. Anyways, the Blazer has completely surprised me with how amazing and well it drives and handles. Only diffrence or complaint is the slow start off, and low end torque, my jeep had a very high exceleration and high low end torque.
The vortec engine is amazing at faster speeds, I love the way the engine is and to help with the low end torque I was planning on doing the whole, throttle body, cold air, some engine mods, and a new exhaust.
I'm gonna do a 2" body lift, I want to do that whole shackle and torison bar lift, but i have no idea how to do that.
After I do the lift I'm gonna get my 31" Wrangler Duratreks and 16" Dc-2 Dick Cepek Rims.
And then Later a Sky Blue paint job in the future. haha.
Im lucky i got money back from my accident with my jeep, thats how I'm able to do this. So I will appreciate any advice and hints cuz I'm new to the chevy/blazer world.

So This place has been great for me to look at, and I cant wait to talk with you guys.


Thanks
(btw, has Oregon license plates that are coming off, also, gold chains were removed immediately after I bought it, lol)

Welcome from Canada!
I wouldn't waste your time with a throttle body. It's not worth it for these engines. Just do some reading around the forum. There is TONS of info here.
