Looking for opinions
So I have an 84 corvette with the following modifications.
Jasper rebuilt engine @ 225hp, 85 fuel pump, X-RAM, flowmaster exhaust, gutted cat, cold air intake, hypertech chip
What would be my next "bang for the buck" performance suggestion?

Don't forget to upgrade your brakes as you increase your power. You don't want to be rear-ending any of those big SUVs! :smash: I really like some of the ideas that Noland has in his book: "101 projects for your Corvette 1984 - 1996. I found my copy at Barnes and Noble but it is also available on Amazon. Best money I ever spent! :party:

Re: Looking for opinions (IceDigger)
You've left out some critical details, digger.
What are your goals? Quicker ETs in the quarter? Higher top speed? Short street-type (I said TYPE...!) racing? Lower times in autocross/solo? Just bigger ultimate numbers from a dyno?
Give us a little bit more to go on....

Re: Looking for opinions (IceDigger)
Main goal is a quick ET maybe low 13's.
You will need headers, heads, cam, probably bored TBs, a converter, gears, tires, and some good tuning. Take a good look at Dominic's set up and performance.
RACE ON!!!

Re: Looking for opinions (CFI-EFI)
I think a stall or gears would be soon to come if it were my car. They may seem like alot of work or alot of money, but you can get alot of performance out of them. Did I just say alot, alot? lol
