All Original '84 add performance?
About to rebuild the engine and tranny (lost 1st and 2nd gears) It has the 4+3 and crossfire injection I want to keep it as original looking as I can but add performance. I plan on headers and a high performance street cam but would like suggestions on pistons rods valves ignition and the like to get a few more horses out of it. I can do the cylinder boring and valve job in my garage but have only done Harley s never a V8 so any help there would be appreciated also.

polished up Ms Cross-fire
and thankyou for the pictures compliment ...
restored , built and owned so many off and on road cars for 40 years now .... however , never owned a corvette I am in love again ... where have you been all my life ...
I simply Hot cammed it to run crisp and healthy
I must tell you that the Lunati Cam company put a ton of time giving me advise
the "Lunati " guys were great to work with
the Cam was a special grind ..
they developed the perfect cam for us cross-fired dude's
I was keen on getting the hottest cam that would allow this C4 to be driven daily and than go out the Thursday night and run 1/8th or 1/4 mile runs ... they all talk Smack until I surprise the livin crap out of them ... I love this sleeper car
cam pumps tons of power in the low to Mid ranges .. the perfect street set up for us daily drivers .. me happy
of course i searched and found a very cheap set of fresh and complete " 882 " steely heads off of Craigs list
Added a very used full length set of full length hooker headers ... super cool .... oh yeah the sound is delicious
