Default 93 Coupe LX 5.3 TH400

I wanted to share my progress with you guys, along with asking for advice.
Picking her up!


After the rear springs were installed


New K-Member


Engine and transmission sitting in place!


And at its current state w/headers on


I have a stock internal 5.3 with Comp Cam (same basic specs as MS3)
LS6 intake
Ls7 Timing chain
Valve Springs
Push Rods
Mid length headers
AJE K-member/Trans cross member
Built TH400 w/brake

I am going to order fuel rails and lines, driveshaft, shifter, and trans cooler this week!! I plan on 150hp nitrous then go from there! Any advice will be welcome!!

How in the hell am I going to run heat and air with a 10 point cage?

It has an aeromotive eliminator. single 10an into a Y, 2-8 an's from firewall to rails. then Y from rails to single 8an return. with a reg somewhere lol. It had the fuel lines ran already.

Look behind the shock tower on pass side. Those are two 8an feed lines. Should I use one for rails, one for nitrous? The return is in front of rail at bottom.

You could split between the nitrous and rails. I've also seen it ran with an independent fuel system for nitrous with a 1 to 2 gallon cell under the hood with a separate pump. As far as a return line the filter regulator combo has a separate return line coming off of it
