Default Bolt on h. P.

I am upgrading bolt on H.P., just finished New Corsa exhaust, Magnaflow Cat. Converter, and now getting my plenum ported and upgrading to SLP runners and having them ported, I have been checking out the best shop to do this and it seems to be http://corvetteplenum.com, I will be sending them in for the job. He comes with a very good following and good reviews. Also looking at changing my intake or having http://corvetteplenum.com, to work it. This should help with this next step. More upgrades coming soom.

What do you mean changing intake? Intake base?

I would get a Big Mouth manifold, or if you can get ahold of Cuisinartvette, he can port your stocker to flow near a Big Mouth...if you wanna go nuts buy a big mouth and send it to cuisinartvette and have him hog it out lol

While you have the plenum apart might be a good time to do the fuel injectors.

I would spend the money to have your intake ported. A good porter can make a stock intake flow.

My suggestion for another bolt on is 1.6 rockers. This is one of my favorite performance improvements.
