What To Do Next?
What To Do Next? I need some suggestions on what to do next on my 93Z. I figure it's between Heads, Cam, Intake Manifolds or a Throttle Body.
Right now it has K&N FIPK (Cold Air Intake), HypterTech Thermomaster Power Chip, HyperTech 160 degree Thermostat, March Underdrive Pullies, and a custom exhaust system with a Raptor Muffler. I'm shooting for around 425 HP before the end of this year. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Torque converter and save up for heads/cam....as was said, a Lloyd Elliot package with come with the heads and a matched cam. Can't beat his work for the price.
You don't need a throttle body and the intake can be port matched when you get the heads done.

Normally 94 and newer intakes go for real cheap, so getting that shouldnt be an issue. As for a throttle body, I would hold off until after you go heads and cam.
if you do the cam now, at least when the heads go on the motor you can make the best use of the cam, rather than have alot of cfm flow and the cam cannot support or make use of the new found flow.
Aside from all of the above, a torque converter 2000-2800 (if you drive it alot around town) but no more than 3000.
OR if i read correctly, you did not list headers...... well I would go to the newer intake manifold, and if you have to have emissions, you can pick from 94 and newer headers that have a different EGR and AIR setup.
But after my long speech, i vote for......
1)Manifold and Headers
2) TQ converter
3) then all the rest.

Verdad Gallardo Yeah I realized right after I posted that I forgot to mention headers, I will probably get some Pacesetter Shortys. Then I could put some money away on my next two paychecks and get a 2800 or so Stall, then worry about doing a major upgrade before I put the car away for winter; heads, cam, 3.73's, intake etc.
First thing I did was stall and gears. It was like a whole new car. Launching at the track was something I had to re-learn on street tires. I cut my 60' from 2.2's to 1.8 on a DR and cut a 1.9 on a street tire. (Only once) I have never been happier then after I got my stall done.

Anyone know where I can get a speedo adjuster after I get 3.73's, I looked but I don't think SLP makes them for 93's anylonger
Do a stall first. Get a good 3500ish stall. As long as you don't get on it, it will still drive relatively stock. but as soon as you step on it, it'll be a whole different beast.
