if you get a stall make sure you get one that will support your future mods that you plan on doing that is a part that you really dont want to buy 2 times

so make a goal list all mods you plan and buy a stall for that

I'd recommend getting a Chip burned from PCMforless after you have added your headers. People have seen some nice gains with 93 cars, and I'm really happy with my computer.

Definitely a torque converter next. You won't regret it at all, I promise . Do you have a catback? If not, either do that or a cutout before you go for headers. Definitely make sure your exhaust is flowing well before you choose a cam. If you're planning a cam I would go with a tune after that, unless you use PCMforless, I'm pretty sure they have some free reprogramming deal or something but honestly haven't checked their page in a while.

Headers, catback and stall would be the best things you can do for the shortest money. The new chip would help out as well.

No, I didn't mean not to get a torque converter, that is a great mod, and you'll deffinetly feel a gain, I gained aroud .5 with my old 2800 vig. What I did mean was to get a chip burned after you get the headers to maximize your gains. Check out Pcmforless.com
