Yeah the 475hp package. Is that the 368? Its a 1990 so I'm sure its the early manifold---

Re: Interested in a c4 zr-1 , any tips? ---
At some point you will have to decide whether you want a modded car or an original because you will come across both. The best value comes from buying a car that's already had the injectors done as well as the upper end ported. Do that with some good headers and exhaust and you'll be in the 525 CHP range.
If you're wanting original you're still going to need to do the injectors if they haven't already been done. One thing to check is the tires as these puppies are quite expensive. But, the first thing you need to figure out is what color because some colors are only available is certain years. Once you figure that out just be patient and DO NOT SETTLE. I wanted a '94 Admiral Blue with Grey interior and it took me less than a month and I got the exact car I wanted. Twice I almost bought 2 different Red/black cars. I'm so glad I waited.

Careful buying "modded" cars.
Who knows what you'll get and what parts you'll be able to get. If it's too much of a Rube Goldberg you'll be stuck with it when it breaks. Moderate mods that are well documented are best IMHO.

Re: Interested in a c4 zr-1 , any tips? ---
I got lucky when I found my Turq car. Tight, nice in/out and 55k miles. It had a spun bearing and the price was exceptionally right.
HEAVILY modded and done right. After a trip to Pete, it's awesome to drive. Don't be afraid of a modded car. Just make sure whatever you buy, you have someone knowledgeable to help you inspect it.

Re: Interested in a c4 zr-1 , any tips? ---
I have gotten the VIN of two 1990 zr1's.
They are both identical in the sequence until the middle/end where one is a "j1l" and the other is a "j3l" ... one is a early number car, one is a late number car. What can you share with me on that? I go tomorrow to look at both of them , thanks  ---
