Ok, I have looked a literally 100's of Vettes , looking for the "right' one. Or at least temporaily the right one. I pick up my '94 coupe tomorrow. has an auto . trans. w/ the LT1. all appears to be stock except the Bilstein shocks ( I believe they are Bilstein w/ yellow and blue) . Anyways, this is my 1st ventue into the C4 and fuel injection/ computers. I know this is the proverbial $64 ? but where do you begin to increase performance? Can anyone steer me towards the research and what works, what does not?
? Will be what do you want it to do-
a. handle like it is on rails
b. run w/ the new LS motored Vettes and not be blown so far into
the weeds , I need my tach as a compass to find my way out.

you will love your 94. i have a 96 and it's a blast. it's not that hard to work on once you get familiar with everything under the hood. it's also not that hard to get 400 plus hp out of the lt1/lt4s.
have fun

They handle very well but stock the LSx will blow you into the weeds

You can always mod it though.
