Sounds like you did good.

friend of mine bought a 86 w/ not-so strait body but ran well w/ Lb9 for 2300, So your a step up.

First mod, Good tune Up and Change ALL fluids.

Dangit... I paid 2700$ for my '87 LB9 305 TPI Z28... not so straight body. 161K. Runs GREAT though. Got her repainted and most of the dents taken out...

Definitely tune and changing fluids and such.

never trust what the guy "did"

Go throgh and make sure your TPS< IAC, ect are all ajusted properly. Spend some Time Driving it around making sure everything is working right.

Then, The first **mod** I would suggest would be headers and a Cat Back.

That, and DIY PROM software.

But Make sure you have a solid platform before you start modding, because if you don't, the problems will become even harder to fix and diagnose as you stray from stock.
