Default Cheap Mods For 1994 Corvette C4

Looking for some cheap performance mods on My C4. I already have brembos installed, a dual magnaflow performance exhaust system, a small computer tune, and I cut the lid on the air box buts that's it. Any suggestions?

Have the shocks rebuilt and put some good tires on the car.

Is the project in your garage insured?

The shocks definitely need to be rebuilt but tires are no issue as of now Probably should've rephrased the OG post but, I'm mainly looking for small Horse Power gains for cheap.

K&N with your open lid, TB splitter, headers or gears.

Ive heard that they are hard to install and there is almost no gain. But I've also heard good things. What Was your personal experience?

This is my 2nd LT1 Vette - one had the stock setup and this one with the Vortex and it absolutely made a difference.

I see the difference in 3 areas:
1) Acceleration (I see it most from 50 mph to 80 mph)
2) Over all sound - this LT1 just seems to sound a bit "meaner"
3) Im getting a slightly better gas mileage

I can not comment on the install - I bought mine with it already installed - sorry!

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look into this, And the install shouldn't be too bad now that I think about it.
