I found a amazing corvette shop in Bedford pa and a great vette parts yard with some really rare (C1, C2, C3 and C4) parts no Zr1 though I checked. One thing my milage has droped from 27mpg to 20mpg I am wondering if the injectors may be damaged due to ethanol. I have also been using redline fuel treatment.

P.S thanks for the help gentlemen
Whoa, from 27 to 20? That's crazy. You at home yet Dave? If so, Marc has a paper on his site on checking injectors. You don't have to remove them from the car. If they end up bad, or a few bad, try FIC or Accels. I used FIC in my other car (yeah the ones in it were bad) and they work well.
