At times it seams to starve of fuel, let up on gas and it will even up. But it runs smooth.

First thing would be to check the fuel pressure, low pressure due to a failing pump or clogged filter can cause this. You can "borrow" the tools to test the pressure at many auto parts stores. You should have between 60-65 psi.

I am with Steve, check the fuel pressure. Having had two Blazers with the same fuel pump as yours, I have replaced both of them. And they went bad right at the 150,000 mile mark. Also, they are a known common problem with S-Series trucks (Blazers, Jimmys, S-10s, etc).

If you are interested in checking your vehicle's fuel pressure yourself here is a helpful link to an article from this site with step by step instructions and pictures explaining the process of checking the fuel-system-pressure-and-regulator.
