The seatbelt light and airbag light go and in hand, I personaly haven't been able to get mine to go out, so I unpluged the airbag light.

Called Napa, they have a oil pressure switch on the shelf. I'll read up on here and see if the # is posted somewhere to compare to Napa #, make sure I use the correct one.

The correct part # for NAPA is MPE OP6677SB.

The "InfRest" light is easy fix. Remove both of the front sensors and clean the contact between the sensor and frame. If that does'nt work, then you can diagnose the bad sensor and replace it. Drivers side is pretty easy but the pass side is tough to get to, but doable. Seatbelt light is tied into the senors also, I beleive. There is a thread on this under under "ZR-1 How To's", "Airbags", "SIR Failure"

I did also notice when pull up to stoplight engines idles couple hundred higher than normal for a few seconds then bumps down to normal idle speed. Thank you all for the input and links, it's very encouraging that I may be able to fix these items myself. Thanks

That's the way the DFCO is calibrated. That can be changed in the tune.

So I got home and did some troubleshooting. Found the power key was not making good contact inside switch. Wiggled it a bit and it started working. Wow what a difference in power. There is still no light indicated full power on the dash but there is a big difference in power now, so it is definately working. Checked my vacuum pump, it comes on and does not cycle so that is good. The oil pressure problem, went to change out oil pressure sensor and realized I didn't have correct tool. Put connector plug back on sensor to go buy the correct tool. And it started working on its own. Must have been a bad connection, have driven it about 1000 miles since and has been working perfect ever since. Will keep the new sensor and tool just in case it's needed later on. Had a fellow ZR-1 enthusiast test drive my car to see if it is working correctly, and check out the noise on deceleration, he is convinced that with the Doug Rippie Chip it is supposed to do what it is doing. He gave me the thumbs up, plus invited me to join his corvette club, so we had the first meeting yesterday. What a great group of folks. Thank you all who have helped me out answering questions, it is very much appreciated. Been thoroughly enjoying my new ride and have put over 1000 miles on it in the last several days...what a pleasure to drive.

Just lucky guess or maybe an unlucky guess. Had the problem on both of my cars.
