93 Chevy Blazer (Full Size)

Looking for advice on some things. first tbi truck i have. kinda excited.
What kind of cold air intake should i get? what material is better for tubing?(aluminium or plastic)?
Is a throttle body spacer worth the money and what brand is better? (money, material, how its made) looking for the best bang for my buck.
any advice on other good upgrades to make the 350 run better or more fuel efficient. thanks

Tahoe?

I'd get a K&N for it and call it good.

I put a throttle body on mine and it was a 15 horsepower increase. It's some off brand thing. k&n is a very good bet but. get or find just the attaching part that goes over the tbi/carb and cut it at the tube. splice in a flexible plumbing/kitchen tube, should be silver. fasten this on with a hose clamp and run you're air filter down by you're bumper. this lookslike hell but can alsobe mad to look ok. the purpose of this is to get the coldest air possible. this got me about 5-10 horsepower but i run 2 different filters. best of luck to ya.

First get some gasoline and a match. Oh, wait, that's for the fraudulent insurance claims forum...

I got an Airaid for about $90. its the same model as my '98. noticable increase. Been very happy with mine.
