Check out "Corvette Specs-C4 Models" by Michael Antonick and "The Heart Of The Beast" (about the ZR1) by Anthony Young for starters.

The Dave McClellan book, Corvette From the Inside. Lots of great insight into the C4's and how it came to be.

And if you are a new owner, the 101 Projects for your Corvette by Richard Newton, will be an interesting read.
