I just purchased ( June 2005) a 99 vette and went to Corvette at Carlisle. This was all new to me. During my visit Mr. Hill was there and what a gentleman. He autograhed my new hat and I was thrilled. Now after telling all my buddies about it he is leaving! Oh well! By the way I would like to get some feedback on a reccommendation given to me by a local vette mechanic at the chevy dealer. He says that by replacing my stock fuel injectors with performance ones i would see an increase in performance at the local strip. Keep in mind I am not racing this too often only occasionally for fun with my son. I have replaced my intake manifold with a gm performance one, new bbk throttle body, granatelli Mass air sensor, borla exhaust, K&N dual air intake, 160 degree thermostat. What the opinion out there, do you agree with replacing the injectors
