Nobody cared to even read that you have a trailblazer i guess 
..Nothing from/for a silverado will fit on the TB.Air intake,fans,headers are all different...
Anything the fits the TBSS 6.0 will fit the 5.3 in the reg tb's.The only difference will be the throttle body opening. The open k&n and airaid CAI's draw in to much heat to make a difference..The volant had fitment issuse's but is an enclosed cai.Jett,ieatsrt8,vector,pcmforless all offer good CAI's.Stainless Works,OBX,SLP,Kooks,American racing all sell headers for the TB.
The e-fans that fit come from Ls1 cars (ie camaro's) and the c6 vette dubbed the c6 fan.. Hope this info is usefull to you

A good 2600 stall converter will wake it up. I say 2600 stall because your still worried about MPG. I know with my truck even with the 3.73 gears is still a little lazy off the line. Getting the RPM's up off the line will really wake it up.

This is th print out from Vatozone:
I guess it is: P0483
Cooling Fan Primary Circuit Condition(has a clutch fan so this baffles me)
P0200
Fuel injector circuit condition
P0302
Cylinder misfire detected Cyl #2

Well the P0200 and P0302 may very well be directly related...curious about that cooling fan code, especially if VatoZone was able to read it. I'd think that that would be a manufacturer specific sort of code and didn't think that the Zone used a scan tool with manufacturer specific capabilities...I could be 100% wrong though lol
