95 LT1 upgrades
i have a 95 vette LT1 all stock. I had a 52mm throttle , corsa exhaust, and a cool air intake installed. What else can i do to increase preformace with out breaking down the engine and what will be the gain? Thanks
also whats a normal temp to run at? in idle it creeps up to 230 ish then ii get nervous and turn on the ac to instantly lower, but should i worry?

I also have a '95 LT1 completely stock. Best money I've put into it so far is Bosch III injectors from FIC, a new fuel regulator and filter. I've been amazed at how much better my car runs now.

rockers from $100. up don't purchase a cheap set.. something close to CC magnum roller tip
tune PCM for less or similar $124 & up
gears I think you have a dana 36 you might find some under $300.00
here is a sample

First, read at least the beginning of this thread.

I bought the flow matched set for $289. The regulator and filter were roughly $80. I had a lot of residue, rust and small particales in the fuel rail which I cleaned and I'm glad I changed the filter. If you have any questions about the benefits of the injectors, give Jon at FIC a call. They are great to deal with.

Consider flushing the coolant,cleaning out all the debris where the radiator sits,running a 180 T-stat,and programming the cooling fans to come on sooner.
A good set of plugs and wires would be in order at 16 years old.Fuel filter.
Get the basics covered and drive it some before you upgrade.
Basic upgrades would be 1.6 roller rockers,cat back exhaust,and a dyno(not mail order)tune.Anything else will be more expensive.
3.07 gears is a good perf upgrade for an auto 2.73 geared car.
