start with basic bolt ons. cold air intake, long tube headers, free flowing exhaust system. next onto suspension, i know jack about vette suspension so onto the real power. the real power is going to be in the heads and cam. how much power is the customer wanting to make? a good set of ported stock heads with a custom cam will run around $2,000 plus labor. and that will put him well over 420 rwhp depending on head and cam selection.

tell us more about the car, auto manual, mileage, and the goals for the car. stout daily driver, street/strip. how fast does he want to go in the 1/4?

he just bought the car, it is all stock. he has some money to burn. he seems to be willing to do heads and cam, a blower, or what ever will make some decent power. It s an auto, besides that he just wants to make some more power. Its a toy but it will stil need good street manners.

Well, if he does a heads/cam he'll want to get a stall for the trans. I think if you put on a blower and some bigger injectors, he could still get away with the stock stall (but would benefit from a higher one).

Whatever big changes are done, it'll need to be chipped (pretty sure 93 Vettes were still chips like F-Body LT1s). "Tuned" is the term now heh, either way it'll have to be done.
