Here is the list of modifications I have done so far:

Corvette Servo on the 700R4 (Thanks Joey!) - Incredible difference in the sheer power of shifting over what I used to have. For 16 bucks, this is something every F-body owner should do.

Edelbrock Strut Tower Brace/14X3 K&N Air Element with a non-drop base:

Stage 1 ECM from Brian at TBIChips.com. REMOVED 10/05

A note about this chip. I added it because I wanted to see what kind of change I could get with a different PROM. Given a pretty close to stock configuration on my car, the stage 1 chip Brian offers claimed to enhance the fuel curve (as well as remove the speed limiter) on the OEM chip. I would say that claim holds true and I recommend this chip for someone in a similar situation and who owns a TRUCK. For modified engines, get into burning your own. I'll enter this arena with my trusty laptop soon. (2/3/06 - I removed the TBIchips ECM a long time ago. See Page 5 for details)

Flowmaster 80 on the stock 2.5" pipe (I need to to change to 3" soon).

TDS Wonderbar - Lon Salgren over in Hacienda Hieghts, CA offers a great web site for hard to find third gen parts. Check out "Top Down Solutions". My wonderbar was a MUST HAVE addition. The one he has to offer is top knotch.

Billet Aluminum Gauge Bezels: Look up a user on TGO called "powermite" and check his car out (that lives in the UK). He did this awesome gauge bezels and a guy named Brad Noon copied them and made a run that sold out fast. I got a set of polished ones:

Hey man very nice bird! It's always nice to see someone restoring and taking care of a thirdgen. It's also nice to see someone else who has a TBI and doesn't think its a paper weight. Keep up the good check out my car when you get a chance. Also, if you have any secrets on how to get the most power out of a TBI and keeping it Mass/Cali emissions legal please let me know!

Excellent! I love the 91 'Verts, too. And I agree with you on the wheel color. Brad's bezels really set of the interior, don't they? I know I love mine. If you get that "windfall", upgrade your engine with a complete swap. Best bang for the buck IMO would be an LT-1 with their sequential EFI harness and ECM, especially if you stroked it out to a 383 . And if you go with a SuperRam you can still be emissions legal (why I went that route in Dallas, TX). See ya on ThirdGen.org!
