Hi all
I am a first time Corvette owner and I have already had a wonderful amount of help from some of the members.
I am the second owner of a 60,000 mile 1986 red vette. The thing is just about perfect, with no major scratches and no dents at all. The motor is perfect as well, but it's kind of slow for my taste.
Any ideas of how to boost the horse power is welcome. You guys have already suggested new rocker arms that I have purchased and will be putting on this weekend.
