Wow... that is a really tuff thing. So many things over the last 14 years. I think the DRM extra grip conversion. Then the minor rebuild & Procharger a close second. It's all been fun though.

I think the dual exhaust and new injectors, followed by the new sound system.

The Z06 wheels w/ the new rotors and painted calipers is up there too.

Melrose long tub headers and Corsa Mufflers - great fit, super sound, added RWHP (17 HP according to the dyno) and picked both the gas mileage and the ET. 1994 LT1.

H/C/I/E, huge improvement......then down the list, hurst shifter.

had i been a 1/4 guy i would have had some old ugly beat-up platform, stuff a supercharged 502 in it, and do the numbers game.
