It took me 5 hours to change plugs on the damn thing. Three weeks to pull the tranny, swap converter, pull the motor apart to put the new cam and opti in and plum the nitrous after working 10 to 12 hours a day. I was seconds from starting to drink again after five years. I know long tubes would be a great upgrade but truthfully I don't think my heart is in it. I bought the car with 50,000 miles cause I wanted a Lt1 Corvette for alot of years. Time to drive it and quit messing with it. I know there are a ton of cars that can pound it but that what my 56 Chevy is for. Other than driving it 260 miles home when I bought it, the farthest I've driven it is 12 miles to work.
The plug change was the main reason I went with LTs, I was running out of knuckles. Everything on these C4s are a pita. You have to take off 3 things before you can take off what you originally intended to. And if the replacement part is not a perfect OEM,......paging Dr. Fabricate.

Sorry for my bad post I will try again. The little 135i are quick, a stock one you should pull. With my 93 lt1 vette m6 I will pull the stock 135i tha my buddy has by a car from a 40 roll and 2 cars from a dig with me N/A. I have also raced a modded 135i (turned up boost some bolt ons) pulled me 3 to 4 cars with me spraying a 100 shot. The same 135i also just nosed out a c6 zo6 the same night he ran me so if the 135i is moded it will pull you just so you know
