Default Looking for Suggestions

Hello - I have a white 1994 Corvette with 63k miles. It is in great shape. The car is stock, no modifications. I am not a mechanic but can do oil changes + filter, plugs + wires, belt, etc. Any suggestions on things I might do to make the car a little faster? What combinations of things could I do as a start? I am willing to spend about a couple of thousand dollars and even get some help. Thanks. By the way, it is automatic.

Auto or stick? If auto then go for a taller stall converter. Or go for gears in the rear end.

The coolant hoses are stamped with a date. Check the date and consider changing the hoses.

Maybe a K&N cone air filter for more airflow, chip, and mufflers? Has anyone ever moved the cold air sensor closer to the airbox? Would that help? Also, I can't seem to find a K&N model for 94 Corvette. Has anyone else tried this?

Nothing will help without actual mechanical changes. All things you mention add nothing.

I agree^. If you can change the plugs and wires on an LT1, you may as well be a mechanic.
