Ok,
Well first off I want to know if the whole Air Intake Mod actually works. You know the one that advertises everywhere for every car that says it will give you 20+ HP.
Also I was curious about any performance chips. What are the best ones out on the market?
Thanks!
Justin

I have a cold air intake I got off ebay....it's a no-name brand but it works all the same...All what you're paying for is the name anyway. Mine works great and it costed me about $60 with shipping. No problems what-so-ever. As for the 20+ HP gain...I'm calling bulls**t. All of the sites that I've seen say something like 10-15 (maybe 20) and in small print under it saying that it depends if you have some other engine mods or not. My CAI increased power and torque...but defintaly not 20 hp. Yeah, it's worth it but unless you go with a mass air flow sensor, bigger throttle body and a new exhaust system....don't expect too much. The chip....I'm not too for sure about it...I've heard bad...I've heard good. A lot of people go with a power programmer like Hypertech.

Thanks For the reply.
I ordered a CAI off of ebay for $60. So im just waiting on that now. Im not sure what i would like to do about the computer but i would like to do something to make the air/fuel ratio and governor a tad bit better.
Do you know if they make and turbos for these things?
Thanks!

I haven't found any turbos yet (or if they even make them) but I have found superchargers though. As for your govenor...my brother said that you can take it off. He'll be home in a day or so, then him and I'll will take a look at it and see if we can take it off, then I'll let you know. As for your air/fuel ratio...a mass air flow sensor should do you pretty good. It also depends on how far into moddin your eninge you want to go go too. A air/fuel ratio gauge, mass air flow sensor, CAI, larger throttle body, a set of pulleys, full exhaust sytem, electric fan and you'll be WELL on your way to show those other blazers what's up. When I got my CAI, the instructions were hand written but that isn't a big deal...it's easy as hell to install and takes about 15-20 minutes. Let us know when you get it put on.

Well i got in my Cold Air Intake the other day...I havent installed it yet, probably because im too lazy to go out into the cold parking lot to install it but i will install it this weekend. Some of the rubber connectors look a little small though...hopefully i didnt get screwed. (Thats the bad part of college, no garage)
Anyways, I was just curious as to what you and you brother came up with about the governor thing.
Also do you know where i could find a electric fan upgrade?
Thanks Again!

My brother and I haven't done anything yet...he's still getting settled in. For the electric fan upgrade...
www.truckperformance.com I know have them
www.stylinconcepts.com might have them. I always compare the prices between the two sites.

i have the ebay intake plus if you take the screen out of the mass air flow sensor it will give you a lil more gain(not much but it helps)"free mod"..... i have been hearing on dif forums thats what everyone does when they put on a CAI.(the screen) also you can get an electric fan off ebay ass well...you well pay double what you pay on ebay for the same fans you find in these performance websites and they work just as well.....you just need to find a fan that fit in where you stock fan was.... i bought a 17" efan on ebay for 30beans name brand......

$30????!!!! Wow, I know where I'm gonna go next! That's cool about the screen mod. Free mods are always good. I'll take mine out and see what happens.

Ok,
Well i am going to go with a computer tuner mod for my blazer and i was just wondering what your opinions are on the following ones i have found.
-Hypertech programer
-Jet stage 2 module-
-Venom 400 Module
I was leaning with the Venom because i have heard a lot of good things about them and they are really cool, but i still am not sure.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I read that cuttin out the screen on the mass airflow sensor is bad to do. The screen is there to help spred out the air evenly for the lil sinsors. It could cause you to run a lil rich or lean. Any one else ever read this befre???

Cutting the screen does absolutely no performance mods...And especially nothing that you would even notice.
The chances are that if you do try and remove the screen you would damage one of the sensors...The screeens are there for a reason and with the little sensors i would bet that they are there for a positive reason.
This is not a freebie mod...because it aint free if you damage your MAF. Just buy a CAI. Which REALLY Helps!!! And i mean really! Now i pull away down the highway all the way till the governor with no problems.

first, no you prolly wouldnt notice a dif but it is a popular mod that..many people on a lot of other s10 forums do this mod... so the impression i get is that it is a legit. mod.... second you will not damage any of the sensors taking out the screen...when i took my screen out i stuck my finger down the MAF and touched the screen lightly and it fell out no prob... as far as spreading out the air better for the sensors to read it, air is air the sensors are going to read it no matter what... you will not damage you MAF by taking out the screen....

Speaking from experience when I tried to modify the screen on my Porsche 944 turbos MAF sensor the screen was very hard to take off and in turn i damaged one of the sensors from moving it around too much....probably just because it was a porsche and the sensor was very accurate so after the i took the screen out it starting running very lean. This also has something to do with the ARC-2 fuel controller but still I dont believe that taking out the screen can give you more power, or more air....Possibly the screen may interupt the flow of air, but you are still getting the same amount of air.
Either way...If you want to take the screen out...dont drop the sensor. MMM...I may actually take out my screen now just based on the fact that it does interupt the flow of air....But is there a possibility it could read too lean?

Just like time toblaze said...air is air...it's going to get through no matter what. Yeah, having the screen probably restricts air flow but not that much. I don't know how a screen can help disperse air flow more evenly though. But I'm not the engineer of the engine. After all, it is a modification...no one is making anyone do this. So take it out or leave it in, it's all based on your opinions. I think that I'll just buy a Grantelli MAF instead and be safe either way.

I ORDERED THE K&N CAI FROM EBAY. INSTALLED IT IN ABOUT AN HOUR. AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT MADE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN POWER AND SOUNDED LOUDER--NICE! I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MODS, ONCE I SLAPPED ON THE DUAL EXHAUST IT MADE IT EVEN BETTER.
