SCOTTY, I NEED MORE POWER !!!!
ok. i love my H3. LOVE the 35's. one of the best 4x4's i have had. but the lack of Hp is starting to get to me. maybe it's the AWD, maybe the 35's, but the lask of hp is bugging me. I have had several blazers and s-10 trucks for winter beaters and the vortec v6's are soooo much more powerfull. i took my 2000 blazer with 33's out yesterday for a lil off road and was loving the power. feels way stronger than my 5 speed H3. so what is the next step for my power upgrade?? i have the K&N. was thinking about a new exhaust but i am not a big fan of loud pipes in anything but a V8. need a huge power jump here. i was even thinking about a supercharger, but can't afford the price..
thanks in advance..

PCMforless. Get it re-tuned! You will like it.
BTW the 4.3 (190/191/195 HP) is not more powerful than you 3.5L I5(220HP). Inline motors make a different power band,good low end TQ. Your H3 is substantially heavier than a Blazer....(I had a 95 Jimmy with it all done up right and I know the difference you are talking about)....and your 35s suck up that low end TQ by the change in final drive line ratio.

Do you have the K&N drop in filter or the whole "cold air intake"? I bought my H3 with the BB exhaust already on it, but I just installed the K&N CAI. It made a "feel-able" difference. I got into a little dig with another H3 on the street the other night. From 0-60 I put around 4 lengths on him. He was stock. So, I think there is some power difference there.......And get the PCM for less tune. That is my next mod.

Tony, the pcmforless tune will help you out a bunch. The vehicle is definitely nicer to drive after the tune. Also, they can get your speedometer set correctly for your 35s.

After my S-10 crew cab was totaled I bought the H3 (w/ 5 speed) and now that I have the 35's on i am feeling the HP hurt too. My 4.3 felt so much more powerful, esp pulling a trailer. I'm planning the PCM thing in the spring when i get my summer car out. I have been thinking that gearing would make a huge improvement. Even before the tires by 5th gear was barely usable in rural driving now I dont even attempt 5th gear till i'm at 60. That is a project that i dont even know where to start with.

Has the 3 been around long enough for an aftermarketcam change? maybe get some of that low end torque back?
