Default Best performance mod?? 96 LT4
Well, I know a lot of you have done multiple mods to your Vettes. What I want to know is if you had to do it all over again, what would you do first to last. I have already bought the Corsa's to appease my need for a better sound and I hope a few more horsepower, but what is the next move. Headers, gears,cam or something else and in what order would you do them.

4.10 gears, best "bang for the buck" on the LT1/4's.

LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
That's an easy one, a spring loaded pressure sensor preset to what you want and tap it into the block.
