Default 84 performance mods!!!!!!!!

Every time a magazine employee buys an 84 I get excited, hoping they will do engine mods. So far Vette and Corvette Fever have had 3 84 vettes that they have started to work on. Each time they rebuild the trans, some interior stuff, maybe the brakes. And one time they put a nitros set up on it and quit working on it. Now they are starting again, so far: door locks,hood latch drains,anti-flex support bar,rear fender panel,trans pan. After those great mods he went to the track and ran a tire squeeking 15.2 :sleep:
When will they do a decent mod for the 84 vette :confused: .

Probably when they can afford an Xram and dont have to keep fixing all the parts that have broken in 20years.

Never, because upper management at Corvette Fever has been brainwashed by Dave Emanuel into believing that it is impossible to make an 84 run well.

There are no supporting vendors to tell them how to do it, to hot rod the cross fire Vette and to pay the magazine to advertise their upgrade products, that is why the C5 gets all the press now, because every manufacturer, tuner is after the bucks the C5 guys have to spend.. It is a DIY project,but there is help at the Cross Fire Vault Website. I will soon be dropping a ZZ4 in my 84
