the N10 is a GM High Flow muffler, This was installed on late 92'* and early 93'* these are extremely rare on an SE. There is only one 93 SE with the high flow on here and it has some other options that makes me think someone that knew something at Pontiac, special ordered the car. ALL 93 SLE'* got the muffler. The whold exhaust system is also 2.5 inch piping as apposed to the 2.25 like all SE'* The N10 was NEVER made after 93

Your supercharger actually has engine coolant running through it up to the TB, and back down. Cool it down a bit. Just get a 180° thermostat of the same series as the stock 195, and make sure you get the fiber outlet gasket and rubber seal for the stat. Some of us are running these with bypass holes drilled as well, but that can depend on your climate. Try it undrilled first, then maybe drill it later as you mod more. The 180 really just prevents the initial warmup heatsoak, and allows you to run slightly cooler (but not by 15° as you might expect) while air is actually passing through the radiator. Above 30 mph or with the fans running.
The single largest gain in performance will be seen when you change your SC pulley from the stock 2.55" to the 2.2", but don't do it until after the stat (this will make the SC run hotter), and the intake. Because you also have the 4T60E trans, you may want to consider a larger, or additional trans cooler after the pulley.

For you, on the LN3. There is the upper radiator hose, follow that to the block. There is a 7/16, or 11mm bolt. Grab a box head wrench of either size. and a cheater bar if you have the strength of a woman [like me]. Get that sucker off. You may have to remove a few vacum lines or fuel lines [de-pressure fuel lines before removal]. Once you have the bolt off. the housing is one PITA to get off. It took me 15 minutes and finally I just took a large flat head screwdriver and kept prying it up.. got it off. Cleaned it all up, and just drop the new thermostat in the engine block [don't mount it to the housing like it probably came off on]. And make sure the spring side is down. Put on new gaskets. and retighten everything back up. Simple procedure. Just takes a little effort on the cleaning up, especially if your housing looked like mine

I personally feel the SSE would have benefitted from the N10, but Pontiac can't get everything right.
