Ion (madtuner) claims that on a bone stock LT1 his tunes are worth an average of 13 hp to the wheels...so if you have any mods it should be a little more. Even if you only gain 13 hp it's like paying $10 per HP which isn't bad at all.

The T56's are different too and I'm pretty sure the speed sensors work in different ways, like someone else already said.

To the OP, there was two transmissions available in 93 so for us to guess "what it should feel like", we need to know which tranny you have.

The 93 trans you got is probably a 3.36 first gear trans.

Why?

Because it's acting like you have 4.10 gears.

And because that trans. had an 11 tooth reluctor ring. Your original had a 17 tooth ring. Easy to change. Too bad you didn't do it before the swap.
