I have a 94 s10 blazer with the 4.3l v6 cpi vortec engine, above 200,000 miles and I was wondering if it‘d be a good idea to put a cold air intake system on it, I want to increase the horses but my friend was telling my that if the mileage was too high that putting one on would wear it out a lot faster, is this true and if so how quick could it wear down
Putting a cold air intake on a blazer is a waste of money.
As far as performance goes on that particular vehicle. I'd just stick with a stock replacement. You won't really feel any difference from a performance intake.
Putting a cold air intake on any vehicle with 200,000 miles is a waste of money. This vehicle will need something fairly expensive, why spend money on something that will give a 175 hp motor 177 hp when your fuel pump could die, a lifter could poop the bed, etc. Are you planning on racing it? Get some new tires for it, get it aligned, change your trans fluid, do something of value with your money. Actually, putting a cold air intake on a new vehicle is a waste of money.
