Performance Upgrades for 84

Hi...newbie here! :)

I just bought my first vette 3 weeks ago. Check it out:

1984 Corvette (http://www.badthad.org/car)

It was a great deal for me, so I bought it. I'm just disappointed in the performance at 205HP. It does have an aftermarket exhaust which I'm sure helps....but it just doesn't cook with fire like other muscle cars I've owned.

What performance mods do any of you recommend? I'm not going to pull the motor and bore 0.060 over or mess with the heads....nothing major. I'm talking about K&N air filers, computer chips mods, basic stuff. Is there anyway to help the cross-fire injection perform better? Do you have any links to vette performance websites?

Thanks - Thad

I recommend dropping a better motor in it at the least. I wouldn't even of bought that I mean any car in the late 70's early 80's wasn't very powerful at all.

Dood.....get a life. Why did you bothing posting that thread crap? Oh, I see, this is probably the first forum you EVER posted in. Let me tell you, it's rude to crap on somebody's thread with a remark like that. Add something useful or STFU.:finger:

send me an email and I'll give you a list of parts to boost your motor to compete with new cars, but those parts are pricey!!!

where did you get the 2'' throttle bodies? are they the 1.83s that are rebuilt or brand new? I had mine rebuilt and filed out but new ones would be nice
