    where it sits, or just cut the stock air box apart and use the bottom as the tray

    Wow that's an amazing thread. I bought my gp with 160000 on the body, 40k
    On the rebuilt engine. I love it so far. A guy in an 89 s10 slightly modded
    Wanted to race and I blew him away lol. I want to mod it but still get decent mpg
    As my daily driver so how far should I take it?

    I believe there is something with a Blazer tray. You might have to Google it though because I don't remember the years or specifics.

    A PCM tray out of a 99/00 and possibly other year blazers will fit GP's, but only for 98-03, due to the size of a 97 GP PCM.

    Thanks I'm planning on going to the junkyard to look for a 99 blazer because the one closest to me is pull it yourself. where exactly does the tray sit?

    For a 98 you are gonna need to move the coolant overflow bottle before putting in a pretty much any intake.

    You need to buy one off of a 99+ gp. I'm trying to find one for myself, look at junkyards if u have some locally. Or look for people parting otu their cars.

    Nope, not true. I have a cold air intake and my 97 coolant overflow bottle is still in there. Not hard to do.

    on my PAU i currently have a Home Depot Racing 4" intake with a 45* elbow (required to clear my coolant tank) and an open cone right behind the headlight. filter was 10 bucks at Advance auto.

    Total Invested? maybe 20 bucks.

    and i STILL have 7ft or so of 4" PVC pipe under my deck. lol

    I can hang the filter right off the TB but it throws the MAF off too much. if i add a few inches of tubing it hits my coolant tank. thus the 45 elbow. i don't want it there but for now it has to be til i hit the dyno.

    aftermarket cone in town is 40+ dollars.

    this with equivalent surface area = 10 bucks after discount

    flow is proportional to surface area.

    this filter wins for now since i wanted to try the concept before dropping serious coin on something that might not have made any measurable difference vs. my FWI
