Boosted 2.8
 
Should I put a intercooler on this setup, im already runnin plenty of hp, but could add a little? If so which one should i use. Keep in mind its on a 1984 Blazer, not limited for room. Also i just bought a HKS blow off valve, where on the filter does it mount, cant seem to find any openings?

Well an intercooler will cool the air, obviously, and the cooler the air, the denser it is, leading to better combustion I believe, which could easiliy enable you to increase your HP. I think I would run it.

Well my electric fan cools the air pretty good as it is but an intercooler would probably cool the air alot better, thanks. I've got an extra radiator laying around, would it be alright to just go ahead and use that instead of an overpriced intercooler?

Erm, I'm not sure about that one. I'll let someone else answer it. Are you running much boost though?
