I know the square stock is more rigid,as for the header maybe some1 else can help.
Hope not(EDIT:hope they dont) I'm gettin the Kenny Brown myself,and headers are in my future plans "Macs" w/ Y @ Thunder Racing.

In my experiance it dosen't make one bit of difference having "double diamond" SFC's vs tubular in a street car. Same goes for most race applications as you will be running a cage anyways by that point in time and that will provide more ridgity than any SFC anyways.
I always recomend a single, tubular style SFC. They are plenty strong, and tend to tuck under the car nicer than any of the crossbrace style SFC's.
IMHO the Global West 905's are the best 4th gen SFC's out there

I have KB SFCs and they made wonders in my car. Now I realize how bad I need new shocks, springs, etc now. Header wise, I just put on some SLP shorties and they were no problem beside that fact that of putting headers on a F-body

93 is the year without CAGS, 94+ we have the first to fourth forced shift. This can be programmed out, or there is a resistor that you can use or buy (free mod), if you buy it it comes with a nice set of connectors instead of splicing into wires.

I believe if you go past 21MPH in first it will not force you to shift, in other words if you are driving hard. It uses I believe TPS, temperature, and MPH to determine wether to do it or not, I just programmed mine out but I skip shift 1/3 or etc sometimes anyhow, these cars have the torque to pull it just fine.

You got a good deal if your happy with the car, for those miles its a pretty decent price. The seller might have even felt robbed because they didn't really put any miles on the car, and its devalued pretty heavily now. They can go for $4500-$6000 or so, but in my area I see more 6-7k cars with higher miles even though bluebook is not telling the same story, so based on that I'd be happy if I were you.

You got a great deal IMO.

That's pretty low miles for the year. Is it still bone stock?

FYI- The RKSport SFC are Kenny Brown units. When I got mine like 4 years ago they even had the KB sticker still on them.
