"Your New Corvette" document

Hey folks, I've created a new page on corvettefaq.com that is geared toward the new C3 Corvette owner. It has some basic info I've collected over the years from other C3 owners and its by no means definitive. I don't claim to be an expert, but I thought it would be nice to have a document to help steer new owners in the right direction regarding their new C3. If some of you experts could review it and maybe even provide advice on technical issues, etc, I would be most appreciative. Also I'm sure I'm missing a lot of alternative upgrade parts, big block information, etc. Check it out if you have a chance and let me know!

Terry,

Good work. One of the first things I would mention from my limited experience, is getting the ignition and fuel systems up to top running condition. A good set of plugs, wires, hot coil, Lars ignition curve, and proper carb setup.

Keep up the great work on corvettefaq :cheers:

Terry, Thanks you have saved me hours of searching and many members from answering my less than brilliant questions. I also saved it.

My #1 tip for improving performance: Make sure everything is TUNED properly...without proper tuning, a motor with 10K with of goodies will run like a dog.
