the change over to a 85 to 89 fuel pump is one of the best upgrades you can do.The 82 pump does not keep up very well.also open up your cat or change it .These do upgrades are the most common on a 82.you also might need to look at this https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...solutions.html

YES! I changed mine out and it made all the difference in the world.
Also, (although counter intuitive) make sure your emissions stuff is up to par. I made sure all mine was working, in conjunction with the new fuel pump and the CFI works very well.
