Welcome to the forum!

Good poll and post, however, I am removing the attachment. This forum is more of an information site and I've already removed pictures of lovely young ladies that other members have posted. If I do for one, I'll have to do for all, and I don't really want to encourage everyone posting pictures that may start to get out of hand. I hope you understand.

As far as mods, there are so many out there, it could actually drive you crazy. You have to decide what kind of driving you'll be doing and what kind of performance you want. You also should take into consideratin, the mileage on your car. Certain mods can put a strain on older engines.

I was a owner of a late 1986 corvette with 99000 miles when I decided to modify the engine. I replaced the main bearings and piston rod bearings without removing the engine then I replaced the camshaft for the RV type with high elevation and 1.6 rockers and this baby gained a noticeble power gain. I did all this work by my self using a service manual from kragen, rod and main bearings were about 70 dollars, cam with rockers were about 325 dollars. The fuel regulator adjustable type was 80 dollars. And the car drove like a champ after that for about a year before I crashed it. It was fun while it lasted.:shift:

Thanks for you info the photo was my vette with one of the famous gold coast meter maid for australia as for my car it s done 53 000 miles and i like to race it on the 1/4 mile some poeple told me to change the chip in the computer but that only gave me about 10 horse power for about $1500.00 au can anyone tell me what else i can do

[CORVETTE95]

Get a K&N air filter for about 60 dollars, a high flow body air foil for your throttle bodie for 39 dollars, adjustable fuel pressure regulator for 80 dollars and also take your air filter lid and cut out the air vents off so it looks like a scuare rim holding your new K&N filter. Dont buy the performance chip. istead buy a fuel pressure gage for 40 dollars to regulate your new fuel pressure regulator.:shift:
