for a speedometer go to 6LE, they have an unlimited variety and can make custom ones. And +1 on the tune, skip the chip

He is saying he has a '93, the only way to tune it is have a new chip burned. Which is true, I used Alvin at pcmforless also.

I would not mod or try and make a 190k motor push more power before freashining it up before doing so. You will just end up replacing the engine anyway.

All of you trolls who want to talk **** about grammer or run on's. Go on an import site with the rest of the dick heads and leave the advice giving to those who WILL help.

93's are factory equipped with a Speed Density tune, with the lack of a MAF and all.

OP, I have had very good service with MADZ28 for tuning my 93. The company has since changed its name to MadTuner, but the service is still the same. They get my vote for Chipped cars.

Spend some time reading stickies. I suggest reading general performance type stuff (there is something named "So you want to go fast"). These forums assume a certain level of basic understanding before you start randomly posting. There is a lot to be learned from these cars, but you have to put in the effort. These forums can be a big help, but please do not use them to be basically lazy. I spent a lot of time with a Haynes manual trying to learn some of the basics of stock then read a lot of the stickies. Then I went along with buddies when they were doing some mods on thier cars (I would stay away from forced induction cars at first, they will just confuse you till you get your mind around naturally aspirated IMHO). Then you start asking questions on here.

Again, this forum assumes a basic level of education before you come on here.

just start with basic bolt ons, headers, cat-back, intake, stall. and a TUNE. i also have a 93 and just because it has the chips you have to burn dose not mean it cant be tuned, there are still a few good guys out there that do 93's.
