The 93 Camaro is different from the rest of the 4th gen cars. The transmission is a 700R4/4L60, not the electronic 4L60E like the newer cars. The only thing that the PCM controls, in the 93, is the TCC application.
A shift kit will work, but be careful as to what stage you choose, as the shift can get pretty nasty and PIA in normal driving. Also specify that you have a 93 model.

The transmission in 93 models isnotocomputer controlled. Tuning a 93 PCM will do nothing for transmission shifting, except fot TCC application control.

Get a kit that is for street use, it will give firmer shifts without hurting your neck.

If he were to install the shift kit wouldn't he need to put in a higher stall converter also?

Not necessary, but it will make part throttle shifts more bearable, and also get the car off the line quicker. Also the high stall creates a lot of heat, and requires an aux trans cooler.

The 93 does not use the 4L60E, it uses a 4L60 which is the same as a 700R4. If you have a TV cable from the transmission to the throttle body, you have 4L60. The electronic 4L60E does not use a TV cable. This is getting hard to explain.
