Guys? Lol So a 93 or 94+ I dont know wheick runs better/easier to work on in chevy (speed density or mass air)

 

they have hyperutectic pistons, not cast. my car doesnt have the infamous oil leak, the opti did go out at 70K and at about the same time i put a ds window motor in it. they are good cars. as far as gears, dont waste your $$$. all it will do is grenade behind a T56. the surest way to **** up a trans is to let the clutch start going and you keep beating on the trans. otherwise, you wont have a bit of problem. i love my little hardtop, there are some local LS1 owners around here who arent to fond of it however.

 

the 93 has too many odd 1 year only parts IMO. i really like the 94-95 cars. most of the faster 96-97 guys convert to the 94-95 computer anyway.

 

I would look for a 94 or 95 unless you want an SS. 94-95s have OBD1 which is easier to work with than the OBD2 on 96-97s. Oh, and 95 > than 94 because of vented opti.

Also throw a set of 4.10s in there right away. I bought my car with them, and I it had factory gears (3.42s) until I calculated it because im still under 2k rpm on the highway.
