My C4 has the L83, slow pos stock. lol
rated at something like 205hp
Apparently that was actually pretty good for the time though.
Has the early Z51 suspension, designed for a race track and "whoops" after thought about it being used on the street.
(harsh)
My entire brake system has been redone, mostly because it looks cooler with the later thin spoke wheels and large rotors and massive calipers.
Oh and the fact that the early brake pads availability sucks balls...
I have somewhere around 350hp now.
3200rpm stall converter, my brake system rocks
Has banski suspension struts and delrin bushings in the front, i had a custom set of delrin bushings made for the rack.
(Full rubber bushing delete)
Rack was rebuilt by turn one (gut and sleeved), 2.0 fast ratio.
Long tube headers were installed due to some issues i had with the new heads, massive exhaust ports... needed headers to work correctly.
Ended up with a full 3in exhaust system with an X-pipe...
Flow master 40's
Drone was so bad at 3k RPM, ended up with a second x-pipe, that toned it down a bit... lol
I love the way the car turned out, it's an event to drive.
Screams like a Ferrari, shifts F1 car fast.
Setup to do manual shifts, instant reaction to the shift lever.
Downshifts, i have to do a little rev matching.
Pretty fun.
Throttle response is quick, have a vac ref pressure regulator to help with that along with a tiny lil converter...
Handles fantastic, i do dread those pot holes though...
Car is also lowered, so i tread carefully around dips and speed bumps.
One of the easiest cars i have ever worked on.
Hands down, my favorite Vette is the C4.
