If you have a genuine H.O. (i.e. RPO L69), don't modify your car as it is only one of 74 produced with this engine in 1986. It's extremely rare!! Check the 8th digit in your VIN. If it's a "G", congratulations! If it's an "H", mod the heck out of it as it is an extremely common LG4.

THE EIGHTH DIGIT IN THE VIN IS AN "H" WHAT SHOULD I DO TO THE CAR NOW?

Well since "there is no max", sell it and buy a vette.
