haha, Rochester here too, oh and give Mike at NewEra a try like Jason said, I am having my car tuned there this friday he is a great tuner, pulled over 20RWHP more out of my friends bolt on car with a small cam, highly recommended.
WOOT!! Yeah, I would love to get some bolt-on's and a tune, but I am still in school: Tuition + Books = No Money

But, if all goes according to plan I should have a job fairly soon.

95+ LT1's had vented opti-sparks, and are very effective.
There are many people that go 100-150K on the original opti with no problems.
The pain is and issue with opti's is that they sit behind the waterpump and replacing them has to be done absolutely perfect.
(besides being a hassle to change)

Im no more worried about my opti then you are about your spark plugs and I got 115K on my Z28.

Nice LT1 to the OP, I am also in the Rochester area.
