|  any way to get inexpensive horsepower for the '93 ?
i was going to get a spiralmax first to try it out, simple installs for me, supposed to be good for up to 35hp. also up to 31% improvement in gas milage.
any other cheap/easy mods ?

Lol those things a a rip off. Don't waste any money on the spiralmax or the tornado or any of that other crap.
You want a little power boost go for an aftermarket header or a 93 header from Joey, get an intake, exhaust, and from there it gets a little more expensive or "complicated" such as nitrous.
I guess a throttle body, plugs and wires have actually helped on the LLO from what I've heard and are reasonably cheap, get a high flow cat, etc. | |

Matt, I hate to burst your bubble there, but you know the Hotshot Header for our cars? It's a polished and over-priced copy of the '93 exhaust manifold. I know this because I've got the '93 manifold on my SL2

92 was the last year of the factory DOHC header style manifold.
If you want a little cheap hp get a intake to start with, they can be had fairly cheap on ebay.

Actually, my 95 'header' is the best. When I kick into 7th geer it allows me to travel through time...Saturn only made about 50 though, sorry.

'93 does have a unique cast manifold, different from the '94 and up, but it is not the same as the '91-'92 tubular manifold.
