Sorry, I just got done buying a second 93 T/A. Three 93's would be a bit much. I'm hunting for an LS1 WS6 next.

yeah and my price range is so sadly low right now... im gonna go for the least refinement of raw power possible...


like a 3rd gen with no headliner for $4000 with a brand new zz4 350 crate motor with hot cam kit and 3:73's...


all it needs is a stall

I just looked at the pics of your 'Maro. Nice ride! It was hard to tell but I believe the '93 I'm looking at is the same body color.

Where did you buy the strut tower brace? Cost?
What brand headers? Cost?

For anyone, are there any headers available for a '93 that will install without jacking the engine up?

Later

Thanks for the nice comments, Chris. The paint color is called Dark Green Grey Metallic.
The brace is from BMR. www.bmrfabrication.com
The headers are Jet Hot coated Hooker shorties. Under $500 on a group purchase from Jet Hot. Installation did not require jacking up the motor.
FYI, my stock unvented opti went 75k. What would be the point of converting? The difference in price between vented and unvented optis is less than $100 and the cost of conversion is a lot more. I don't expect to replace too many optis if they last that long so I don't see that as a major shortcoming.
I don't know why the 93 you drove was particularly slow. I have driven a stock 94 and it's not as fast as my lightly modded 93 so there must be a reason. Did it have cheap gas instead of premium? Maybe it has 2.73 gears?
