factory ram air or open element intake???

[George_Pimpdaddy]

hey was wondering what some input would be on some of my future changes to my 89 blazer. first ill start out with what it has
350 rebuilt .030 / 700R4 with shift kit / NP241 / 10 bolt axles with auburn posi in rear / sway bar removed / K&N air filter / daily driver that sees canadian winters and 20% off road
some things i want to do:

1. ditch the factory air intake duct and run an open element?
2. edelbrock tbi intake not to sure what model to go with
3. throttle body spacer?
4. pro comp 6" lift with springs in rear
5. ranchero 9000 shocks with the adjuster in the cab
6. build up a 14 bolt ff and a dana 60 over time to swap in
7. and when i lift it should i keep my dual front shocks or go singles

thanks for the help



thanks for any info

Open elements suck, they will be drawing in hot underhood air and will lose you power. In mud and water they're also more suceptible to getting a soaking and drawing water into the motor.

Make sure when you install the spacer that you reset your kick down cable. I know when I installed one on mine, it extended the cable slightly and messed with the shift points.
