Tuning tips for the Chevrolet Corvette
We like the Corvette and with a few of our Corvette tuning tips we are sure you will have a fantastic car. Better than what Chevrolet ever intended!
Available in standard form with power of upto 344bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Corvette. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 378.4bhp to 584.8bhp with modifications varying from a few DIY mods to some pretty major engine work. The higher you go the more unreliable the car will be and you should expect to have to rebuild the engine regularly if you want to extract silly power. A big forced induction upgrade would be needed to push beyond the 100bhp per 1000cc limit.
Chevrolet mods should include an engine swap to provide a better base to work from. The ’344bhp Corvette Coupes’ is a real gem in terms of power. There are some star performers in the Corvette line up. With a few mods you will make yours a road scortcher rather than just a hot hatch.Car Tuning Guide have been impressed with the addition of stainless steel exhaust systems on the Corvettes , if you want to improve your top end go with an air induction filter. You should also get a better fuel pressure regulator such as those supplied by FSE
The next level of modifications involve taking more aggressive action. The Corvette responds well to a fast road cam which is one of the best value mods out there. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The most powerful Corvette Coupe in our database offers 344 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 378.4 bhp to 584.8bhp with mods we have outlined above.
A Corvette with forced induction (turbo or supercharger) will give even larger power gains that this. The most powerful Corvette has a healthy 344 bhp. In a competition setting you may well, with some forced induction, reboring and other major work see power figures between 447.2 bhp to 653.6bhp with mods we have outlined above.) The Corvettes handling can be dramatically improved with some choice suspension modifications. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
