Congrats on the 'Vette. I too got my first last year, also an '85. My advice
would be to drive it for a while before you start making any changes.
Remember, it's 21 years old so there may be a few things that need to be
done before you worry about stepping up performance. It takes a couple
thousand miles before you notice some of the annoying things you'll want to
fix.

When you do start to make performance enhancements the most common are
intake, exhaust and an EPROM chip. Go online to places like Ecklers, Mid
America Motorworks and Zip to request a catalog. You'll find all kinds of
stuff to spend your money on.

Enjoy the "new" ride, I know I do mine. Can't wait for winter to end so I
can get it back out!    Brad
