The spare tire is a structural piece in the event of a rear end collision. It diverts the force coming into the rear down into the floor instead of into the rear mounted gas tank. Removing the rear tire puts you at a high risk of death by inferno.

Don't touch the EGR! If its dirty, cleaning or replacing the EGR will make a world of difference. But if its working, there is No power gains from deleting it. It only recurculates exhaust gases during light throttle cruising, it's closed all other times.

[@rachael1769]

@@StevenMay-us9trdelete it. I track my 1990 and it’s less about the weight removal than it is about removing extra drivetrain losses with the unnecessary pulley, and getting rid of the extra engine bay heat. My EGR system melted a vacuum line, and two plug wires

[@Max-nh3gp]

EGR - Makes no difference. Its only active when cruising. Smog pump - makes no real difference. Might gain half an hp in friction reduction. The real benefit to it is having less random hoses and wires running around the engine bay, which makes working on the car a lot easier. Frisbee - Its a little less rotational mass. Might be worth it but gaining 10hp from it is a big stretch. More like 2hp. Still, it serves no real purpose so removing it isn't a bad idea. Air box delete - the stock air box has more than enough air flow. The small fins on it don't really obstruct anything at all. I read on a forum somewhere that a guy dynoed before and after and had zero gains cutting up the air box. The only way to benefit here would be an air ram intake. -Insulating the air intake system - I have never heard of this one before. I would be curious to know if there is any actual gains. I feel like most of the heat transferred would be through direct metal on metal contact with the lower intake portion of the engine itself, and that the surrounding air might actually work to cool the intake rather than heat it. Could be a pro or a con, would need testing to see. Muffler delete - This one will actually make some extra hp BUT your car will be too loud. You are better off deleting the cat and calling it a day. These vehicles were designed with performance in mind. If you want to make more power an air ram intake, long tube headers, cat delete, tune/chip, and maybe the frisbee mod would be the ways to go. General maintenance stuff like testing the functionality of the MAF/O2 sensor/TPS, making sure there are no vacuum leaks, making sure the radiator is clean and free of debris, and making sure the air filter is clean would also help in performance.

[@zragevii4705]

I'm looking at getting one, keeping the spare, but I'm gonna slap thinner headgaskets on it, 1.6 rockers, mild retune, probably gonna tune for 93 with 4 hole or even 12 hole injectors.

[@neilmoore3856]

The "frisbee" only weighs 3-4 lbs and you forgot the coolant bypass for the throttle body, iit actually does give free hp with a much cooler intake charge.

[@ah4800]

Doubt its worth it. The air is flying by the throttle body very fast. Way too fast to add any sort of heat into the air.

[@lees.4084]

@@ah4800 For the price and ease of the mod, you can't go wrong. It may not add much heat to the intake charge, but it will add some.

This is funny I just bought a 85 a few days ago and looking for some cheap mods.

Kinda like the guy I bought it from watched your video and did all the easy stuff. Great video

[@charlescarmichael1124]

My son did a full straight pipe on his 94. From the headers to the exit hole. Oh MAN it sounds good

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

Firstly, the EGR delete won't make one single bit of difference to power output, it does not recirculate exhaust gasses at WOT, and there is no point in removing it unless it is faulty or stuck open, and absolutely ZERO power to be gained. Secondly, the air injection reaction system simply blows air into the exhaust headers when in open loop, almost only ever when cold. Removing it will have absolutely no impact on how well the engine breathes. It "may" give a couple horsepower at lower RPM due to reduced parasitic drag on the belt, but that is it. I think maybe it would be a really good idea to get your facts right before you start telling people how to modify their cars, someone might come along here and actually think you know what you're talking about.

[@johnwilkins6871]

Couldn’t agree more. I dislike channels that do either “mods” that don’t do a thing, and then the channels that go all out and spend 10k on an engine then call it a budget build. If you really want to “mod” your C4, put AT MINIMUM a better intake. Then if you feel like it, either get your heads ported or just replace them. Then do a full exhaust. You maybe gained 5hp with what you did in this video, money could have been spend on a tune up and restored more of the power. Just IMO

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

You have finally saved up for a Corvette, don’t f*ck it with half-ass, clueless mods. Don’t disrespect the Vette, save for proper mods. IE, a full exhaust system designed for the car. It isn’t hard to figure, more air in and out= power+efficiency+a real performance sound, not an old work truck sound. Too many tools on KZbin can barely afford a C4 and are clueless about how to repair, restore, or mod correctly.

[@CoolVIguy]

I couldn't make it through the whole video without having to interject. EGR is important. When you are running hot and burning cheap gas the possibility of detonation occurs. Two things happen. The heavy near knock pinging is picked up by the knock sensors. The ECM then retards timing to kill the knock, but it gets some help from...... You guessed it. The EGR valve. The point of the valve is just that. It introduces an INERT gas (spent exhaust) which causes a very quick temperature quench of the combustion chamber. Result? Knock killed immediately, and ignition timing restored to pre detonation setting. I'm not farting in the wind here... Master AST over 25 yrs. I am aware of shop owners who deleted EGR only to be sued by a customer because their engine piled up. They were chasing a stuck EGR and plated it off... Runs great now!! Man it flies!! Correction.... Flew.

[@lees.4084]

🤣 BS... EGR was removed from my corvette and numerous other vehicles, and I never had issues with detonation from it. Verified with scantool knock count checks. EGR is used to control oxides of nitrogen emissions on older cars. Most newer cars use better catalytic converters to break them down instead.

[@StevenMay-us9tr]

Is an EGR delete worth it if I'm gonna track the car? If you see this please explain pros and cons in detail.

[@BAndersen-ee1xy]

The only one of these “mods“ I would personally recommend would be modifying the air box and installing a K&N filter. I’ve opened up the area behind the license recessed area for cold air on my 96 LT4. Disconnecting any part of the EGR is pointless, and I would also discourage modding the AIR system. You won’t gain any power, likely even loose power with EGR removal, (probably won’t notice much with AIR system removal), sometimes causing issues with the computer and sensors. And like it or not, these systems are there for a good reason. Plus there is the whole “illegal AF” part. The suggested mod that really annoys and is a real pet peeve of mine is doing a muffler delete. Don’t take this personally if you have already done this, but louder is NOT a performance sound. With the early C4 especially, an 8-10hp increase is quite optimistic. With only 240-245hp, the sound you will end up with is more old work truck than performance sports car. The significant choke points with the stock exhaust are up stream of the stock mufflers. The tiny exhaust tube size, the transitions from the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter(S), to the mid-pipe resonators, which on some earlier years even drops to a single pipe. Of course the stock muffler is not great but cutting them off while leaving everything else up stream will net you little more than LOUD. My recommendation I realise can be expensive but it will pay dividends in spades ♠️. I’ve been working on/modding C4’s since around ‘94-‘95. A full exhaust system designed for the car is the mod I always first recommend to anyone who is new to the wonderful C4 Corvette. A good quality performance exhaust(cat back)system can be had for $700-$1000. I can not see spending at least $300 to have a muffler delete installed. The advantage of a free flowing system is obvious, but the other significant gain is a proper, tuned performance sound that the C4 needs and deserves, not the ratty truck sound of just hacking the mufflers off. I know some won’t agree, mostly with the cost. But taking the time to save up, you won’t regret it. Add to this over time with good quality shorty headers, hi-flow cats, then a proper computer tune, the gains without cracking the engine open are significant. A little patience while saving up will be well rewarded.

Bypassing the throttle body coolant lines is also another good cheap mod.

Without any dyno or dragstrip time you join the countless hoard of Internet horsepower wizards. On the dyno a typical K&N air filter will show the same horsepower increase as simply replacing a dirty stock air filter with a clean stock replacement air filter. There are some neat tricks that you can do with a flipped C4 air cleaner assembly to make an effective ram air system (with the trade off that you can’t drive your C4 through deep water puddles in the rain).

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

Why would you move the intake air temp sensor? It is there to measure the temperature in the plenum, and that is where the ECM expects the reading is being taken from. Don't ya think if GM believed it would make more power moving the sensor there they would've done it themselves?? Doing what you did will at best do absolutely nothing, and at worst make it run too rich, causing the O2s to tell the ECM to pull fuel out. Either way it was a total waste of time and money. The O2s give the most dominant say in fuel mixture adjustment, the IAT is WAY down the pecking order. It is placed there on LT1 cars because the ECM and later PCM expects that is where the reading is being taken from. It is a different sensor, and serves a difference purpose for a different management system. Put it back where it belongs, it won't foul your O2 and cats, and enjoy the better fuel economy while getting the exact same power.

Removing the air system is all pretty much all aesthetics. On the LT1/4 cars the air injection system is a mess. I installed shorty headers in my 96 and the bolt gets practically welded into the exhaust manifolds. After destroying the tube trying to get it out, I decided to remove all the clutter. I'm not going to pretend to get any performance gains here. Just less crap in my engine bay obscuring my nice new shiny headers for a nice clean look. The LT1/4 cars also have a resonator that you can safely delete for an x-pipe. Keeping the stock mufflers gives the car a beefier sound, honestly how the car should have came as it's not very loud. You can still add aftermarket mufflers without making it anywhere near obnoxious and possibly illegal where you live, unlike a muffler delete. The air box system is actually designed very well on C4s. I wouldn't waste money on anything there. Cut out the box if you really want. As for anything else save the money for something that really matters.

On the muffler delete can I gain more power on aftermarket cat back

[@destruxandexploze2552]

I’d say yes.

[@MikeGee-de9pw]

The EGR and Smog pump are needed to pass the emissions tests right? So I don't think telling peeps to do this is a good idea and if the EPA sees this video you may be getting a fine from them! Seriously they can fine you for making this video!

Hey man. How did you get the red colored plenum? Looks cool. I want one.

[@kennygibbs9627]

Was it painted red?

[@anondale5635]

hey, you and me both, could lose 50lbs off our waistline if we are honest. That would make the car faster as well. So far that hasnt been enough of an incentive for me to do it yet lol.

Will these mods affect California smog check ?

[@rotorblade9508]

EGR could (it depends on what limits they have for older cars) it’s a huge factor in NOx reduction. not sure about the air delete. I think it sends air to the main cat even when warmed up to keep burning HC effectively. btw, air makes the CAT hotter because of the O2. Then if you have front preconverters they preburn extra HC (fuel) and protect the main one but ceramic converters close to exhaust manifolds can break easily and clog the rear so I would recommend metallic core as preconverters.

Where’d you get the smog pump delete?

[@lynndomsicz6155]

i bought mine on ebay. i did all the smog deletes, Frisbee and throttle heater bypass at the same time. i installed 2 cherry bombs instead of the muffler delete and it sounds amazing . cheers

Why isn’t there any for 84

@@MrRandomReviews I got an 87 recently with 78k it runs like a dream. I did the intake cover cutout recently it definitely helps. I also have a 2014 F150 limited in case you’re looking for a truck to review. 2014 was the last year of the last gen.

At lease they put the smog pump in a place it's easily ripped off.

Disconnecting the EGR will cause engine knock. Then the knock sensors will cause the spark to retard.

The best mod is detailing your car, I see to many bad c4's with terrible paint

[@terrywdowiak8399]

I have a 90 C4 and I'm leaving it all stock and leaving it alone ! It's mint and never gonna be a race car anyway. These mods do nothing. Better off doing something else with a person's time .

[@marknowakowski6590]

Ya like keeping all your money in the bank. So u can save up for all the suspension parts you’ll need later on as well as the opti -spark delete to something better which will of course cost an arm n leg even if u do the mod yourself. Always something the older they get. And American mechanical shops are diggin DEEP and I mean DEEP into everyone’s pockets with the newly improved covid pricing.

The C4 deserves the C4 logo. Putting a newer car's logo just doesn't seem right. But that's just my opinion.

I wanted a corvette so bad intill I stood next to one I’m too tall waist was above the dam roof

[@richardcoram1562]

These C4s will not pass a California Inspection if any of the "original factory smog/emissions hardware is missing. The best way to get 40 to 60 hp and more is with a chip. I was skeptic, but for the money and install, I knew there was a good difference in the sound, response, and power. I run Golden Turbo mufflers, original cats, but do clean them ever 4 or 5 years with Cat Clean. I'm 750 miles from 200,000, and I'm getting 26/27 mpg on road trips, around the burbs and city 18 - 20. I bought mine in 2000, and she's a driver..& a Buck-50 car. In NC I no longer have to get my '86 inspected for the tag, because she turned 35 years old (ANTIQUE) Man, can you dig that? Lol!!.

[@jasonkepic1132]

Chip? Really?? Lmayt, which engine do have? And just what chip you using?

[@richardcoram1562]

@@jasonkepic1132 Hey Jason, I have a PCR chip. I have no faults with it. I'VE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS. I put a 40 hp chip on. Mounts with a tie strap under the accordian intake tube. There's a square block there so it fits on perfectly. I believe the chips go up to 80 hp. I'M satisfied . My '86 just turned over 200,000 miles . Original 350 TPI and TH700 slush box. Neither has ever been broke apart. On road trips I'll average between 25 to 27 mpg. I ONLY USE the old fashioned REAL GAS. Non Ethanol!! ITS SOMETIMES HARD TO FIND but the ethanol will cause expensive injector issues, and putting. Ethanol also attracts moisture. Go on Google and search PCR PERFORMANCE CHIPS (for C4)???

Gotcha. Thank you. I have 93 LT1 and I don't believe their is a chip for mine that's legit.

[@richardcoram1562]

@@jasonkepic1132 I don't know about the '93 . Mine is a '86, and I bought a 40 hp chip years ago. Never been sorry, and I love the robust sound and power I noticed right away. My chip is a box about 4"L× 2"w×1/2". For the install I took mine to a Corvette only garage, and frame off restoration shop, The mechanic looked at what I had, read the instructions and wired it into a junction block underneath the throttle body. The chip box mounts with a tie strap under the air intake tube. He told me it would synchronize with the ECM, and would adjust out the necessary components to give the engine more power, and improve my fuel mileage.He told me to " season it", take it on a road trip of no less than 200 miles, drive the speed I wanted ( legally). Do stop and go, light to light, and if I got a chance drive it like I stole it ..hard and fast. I did what the doctor told me. I saw that my mileage on road trips had went from a 23--24 mpg average to 25--26 mpg, and it has on occasion held a 27mpg . Sure a good tail wind helped out.. I only use high octane NON-ETHANOL FUEL. We have a SHELL station here that sells it. It's expensive, but so was the damage to my injectors and other fuel related components. The mechanic that changed out my bad leaking injectors told me ethanol was like poison to my 350 TPI. I will drive several miles out of my way to purchase the REAL GAS. How's your 93? Miles?
