Performance Upgrades

One advantage of many performance mods is extended working life. Starters, for instance, are very vulnerable to the heat given off by the manifold and the exhaust system. A heat shield can protect the starter's armature, preventing the hard starts caused by degradation. Heavy duty timing chains are more durable than OEM units, and may offer lower friction for better operation. Specially engineered engine pulley systems also reduce the amount of friction in the system, eliminating some of the drag and increasing the power that can go to the road rather than the accessories.

Parts like these can tease more power out of any Vette, but some of them are not street legal in every state.
