MUCH appreciated man, thanx! Yea im going to wait on a tune, since im gettin a compression test done here in the next couple weeks, then im saving for heads and cam. I need to get one. I bought my hypertech and boy is that thing a piece of ****. I honestly saw no gain at all. It was a waste of 245 w/ a stat. O well i never knew of madz28 or pcmforless, so there was nothin i could do, sometimes you just take chances.!

I live in Boise and I traded my 93 Camaro with 125k miles for my Corvette in February. Mine also had a Flowmaster catback. It sounded like you bought my previous car but mine was purple... would have been a funny thing if you actually had my old ride

Not sure if I've seen you out there. I attended some high school drags last year, but now I attend the club challenges. Sorry won't be there on Sat, but I'm competing in the Halloween Classic XII on Wed 10/12. I'm hoping that the cold weather and some skillful launching will get me a 13 sec time slip

I got Tunercat plus a cable for $200. WAY better deal.

This is what you can change with it.

Yeah that's cause the 93 PCM is different. 94-95 are OBDI also, but have the flash memory which makes it a lot easier.

I dropped 3 tenths with the hypertech chip over stock programming, back when my 93 was near stock (early '96). If I was in the same situation now, of course I'd go with someone like Pcmforless, but calling the hypertech chip a "piece of ****" is a bit much. They pretty much work as advertised, at least on stock or near stock auto 93s...

Luckly my grandparents offered a lot of money and I bout a 94 TA with 58K miles on it for $7,000 (PERFECT BODY AND ENGINE). But besides my car, the car your looking at sounds crappy. Just remember, you don't have to buy the first car you find, their are better ones out there, TRUST ME. Only think about buying it if you know a lot about cars and can restore it. Good luck.
Take it from me..... 150,000 miles is only the beginning! Mine will still blow the doors off of most of the crap out there! I maintain mine myself, though, and sometimes it can be frustrating. So far, I haven't had to do anything major to it and this site has always helped me through my hard times! Good luck man!!

Just thought I'd mention that 93s are not necessarily bad cars. My first muscle car was 93 Z28 and I had a blast with it. It was an A4 with a few bolt ons and it could churn up blue smoke without powerbraking when floored. However, I'd look around. Something to keep in mind when looking at a car is that there is always something else out there, including a better car for a decent price. If it's something you feel good about, do it. But weigh all your options beforehand .

No doubt. I wish I had the LS1. But after marriage and three kids, I still have to put my foot down when she tells me to get rid of it. I had it before I had her!
I can't badmouth her, though. I was able to pick up a FZR 600 and keep the LT-1. Damn I love her! And the wife isn't bad either.....

I got a 13.8 stock. LS1's usually run about a 13.4-5 stock.


Quick Reply: Well.... do i want to buy this 93?
