looking at this ...

do you think that the $250 pricetag is worth putting this on a 96 blazer? Would I really notice a difference?

Dude, you keep talking about getting another ride some time soon...so deal with what you have, put the $250 in the bank or somethign so you have a trade in And a down payment.

Save your money. You will get a marginal increase in horsepower at higher rpm ranges, where breathing is more important.

If you look at the dyno curves, notice how little return you get in the lower rpm ranges. The only way you are going to be out of those rpm ranges is if you regularly flog the crap out of your vehicle and that is a very short sighted way of looking at things.

Low end torque is arguably just as important as horsepower and in any case, the rpm range where you get the extra HP is a critical factor.

Well the something leaves that open to purchase other stuffs.....like more harddrives :D

I didnt really have the money for it now anyways, was just something I was thinking about for the near future for if I did have to keep it a bit longer than I intended to.

sometimes the stock periscope works best, or you can try slaving a led to the vacuum line to tell you when your foot is imitating a lead balloon and about to flood the channels...

screw that, you can make your own for 50 bux or less. and plus is your blazer automatic? if it is you will probably get to feel a second of that power at midrange b4 your transmission shifts, unless you turn overdrive off.
