I have added the following parts and mods:
accel wires uridum plugs jet chip stage 2 lower thermostat throttle body spacer k&n intake kit Electric fan conversion Cat back dual exhaust accel coils Larger throttle body from 2.8ltr engine from 93 grand am
These mods won't have you burning the tires off, but they will give you a definite increase in your acceleration. If you need more you can buy a turbo kit at this link http://www.maximumboost.net/product_info.php?cPath=21_350_353_354&products_id=423

If its a 5 spd. it will interchange with no problem at all. 1996 was the first year for the New Venture 5 spd trans which I think GM used in 4cyl. S10's up until 2003. I'm not to sure about the automatic though. You could call a junk yard to be sure. They always keep interchange manuals handy.
My 1998 S10 2.2L standard 5 spd averaged 28 mpg.
Mercon works fine.

Something is wrong with the EGR valve and needs to be checked out.
5 spd you need 2.9 qts and recommend GM syncromesh
SPD=surge protective device

A degree in elecrical wiring and tons of time studying both the S10 and the Camaro wiring diagrams A better choice is to buy one pre-made by "Painless Wiring Inc" if they offer one
