Default Tuningquestion !

I'd like to know the best/praiseworthy to get around 300hp in my vette... as i said in other polls i got a corvette -85 with automatic gearbox (59000miles)

Would really appreciate some answers!

Your L98 will respond well to exhaust mods:
-FL coated headers
-true duals with hi-flow cats, 2 1/2" pipes are adequate

Install some good heads, not too large on the runners with 1.6:1 RRs; install an agressive cam.

Install a cut air filter lid with K&N filter and an AFPR to add more fuel at WOT. You have the choice of going with an Accel base and LT runners or SR for the intake.

These mods should put you over 300 hp at the crank and provide a very streetable and quick '85.
