Ive got a 93 aswell. The KM cannot be replaced, as it is In the ecm. However, It can be worked around with a good tune.

Nice. I'm hoping to get some 1.7's sometime soon. It may not be until Fall or Winter though. Oh well, I'll have basically full bolt-ons and even my suspension work done by the time I get them.

I got mine for $20 shipped from a member off Cz28.com. But, if you can't find a used one, it'll be around $40-$50+shipping, I believe.

I would say Cross nailed everything.

And while CAI basically is this item: Ram Air for people with the hood would be something to add.

I guess I'd also addIS, High Energy box (MSD 6a, Crane Hi-Fire, etc), coil (not that it helps much/any over stock), electric water pump if it wasn't mentioned, strut brace and tubular K member and A-Arms. Some say a Fan Switch is lol but that I don't consider to be one. OH! Injectors and AFPR as well as 255lph fuel pump and lastly the LS fuel tank (plastic, lighter).

if you buy LT4KM from a dealer have them look it up under LT4 corvette, thats how they have them listed on there computer.

if your using nitrous i would use LT1KM.

I wouldn't say you need it, some cars react differently. It is definitely a good idea at some point though.

Here's a guy selling an LT4KM in the non-LSX classifieds. https://ls1tech.com/forums/non-lsx-parts-sale/934280-fs-lt4-km-dash-pad-2-firebird-cd-players-etc.html. Not the best price I've seen, but better than retail, and you can always negotiate.

I would think that a complete bolt-in rear diff. would be considered as well. This is the one major bolton that I have done and allows the slicks to be used. This is what has produced my great numbers on my, stock, untouched from throttle body to manifolds, LT1.

bolt ons only refer to the engine, and its everthing except the shortblock.

heads, cam, intake, exhaust, etc...all bolt ons.

That is unfortunate, but acceptable. I still have an untouched motor that runs a better number than MANY modded motors.
