To the normal eye the Corvette does not fit in the category of needing more power or extra performance, to the car enthusiast there never is enough power and you could never get too much performance.\u00a0 Whether you are in the first category or the second you found your way here so you must be looking for some sort of upgrade.\u00a0 And since all us of have different capabilities as far as being mechanics we are going to focus on the not so difficult to install performance parts for the corvette.\u00a0 Just because a part is going to increase power does not mean that it is going to take a professional to install it.\u00a0 Or maybe you would like to think that you are a professional.\u00a0 After any of these upgrades you may feel like you are one.\u00a0 Bolt on upgrades.<\/p>\n
Starting in the front and working our way back.\u00a0 The first bolt on upgrade starts under the hood.\u00a0 It is a cold air intake system.\u00a0 I have installed these and if I can do it anyone can.\u00a0 It will take about 30 minutes depending on your understanding of the instructions but most instructions come full with step by step pictures.\u00a0 The great thing about cold air intake systems is that they are really easy to install and for the ease, you get a lot out of it.\u00a0 Expecting an extra 25 horses is not out of the question with around 30 ft\/lbs of torque as well.\u00a0 The way these systems create more power for the Corvette is by increasing the air flow to the engine.\u00a0 Engines need to breathe just like any of us and when the engine doesn\u2019t get the maximum amount of air it isn\u2019t running to the fullest of its ability.\u00a0 They can also increase your gas mileage by a couple miles per gallon while driving conservatively.<\/p>\n
Moving under the dash there is about a five to ten minute install of a performance chip or tuner.\u00a0 With these you won\u2019t even need to lift a single tool.\u00a0 They just plug in under the dash in the OBD-II diagnostic port.\u00a0 Once it is plugged into the OBD-II diagnostic port, the full on screen instructions will run you through the download of the new performance programming.\u00a0 Simply unplug it after the installation is complete, and get out for a drive.\u00a0 Generally gains of 25+ hp at the rear wheels and 25+ extra ft\/lbs of torque can be expected, if you have the Z06 that comes standard with more power, you can expect to gain even more.\u00a0 Like the air intakes these will improve gas mileage too as long as there isn\u2019t a race going on.<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s move onto the really fun stuff.\u00a0 Underneath the Corvette doesn\u2019t get seen all that often but if you follow all those pipes to the back the beauty of exhaust tips should be seen.\u00a0 Installing an exhaust system will be a little more time consuming and more difficult but well worth the work.\u00a0 Exhaust systems work in line with the other two but don\u2019t have to go together.\u00a0 They will improve hp, torque and miles per gallon.\u00a0 The best thing about any of these systems is the sound that comes with them and the new look.\u00a0 Whether you are the car enthusiast or the guy who just wanted to buy a Corvette you will all enjoy the beautiful sound that a performance exhaust will produce.\u00a0 They will transform any Corvette from just an everyday car to an every minute car.\u00a0 It will let everyone know you are coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
