I am looking for an Iroc. I found a 1990 350 TPI white with red interior Iroc. Is the 1990 a good year for the irocs. I know it is the last, and i am wondering if it is also the best. What are the differences from the earlier irocs and the 1990 irocs (besides engines of course). What are the pros and cons of the 1990 irocs? Any additional info and advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

1990 IROCs are sometimes considered the best of the best in terms of an IROC.

First off, it has the newer dash/guages. Second, it does NOT have the Aero gfx pkg, only 91-92 RS/Z28 models did.

Anyway, the 90 IROC is one of like 5000 built and is quite rare actually. The MAF vs MAP controversy is not a big deal, unless you are planning some serious mods. Anyway, if its priced right, get it!

 

1990 iroc is the best iroc you can get, hell the best thirdgen camaro!!!14.4@98mph, .90 on the skidpad, and this is stock!!!1990 is when they converted to speed density too! You should buy it, you wont regret it, i know i didnt.

 

make sure its a real 350, run the vin and check the casting numbers.
even if it isnt a 5.7 get the guy to knock a gnote off the price and still buy it youll love it

 

One of the better Camaros ever built. Nice driver, powerful, easy on gas, and you can actually work on it. No eight hour spark plug replacement jobs.

 

Well I found out, thanks to the VIN, that it is only the 305 TPI. I got the guy down to 2100.00. Do you guys think its still worth it or should I keep trying and find something better?

 

i think its worth 2100.00 if its in pretty decent condition

 

What are your plans for this vehicle? Have you run compression tests?

 

Well its going to be a daily driver but I also want it to be fast and I want to beat all my friends in their mustangs lol. Looks, speed and reliability are all qualities I am looking for.

I actually dont know how to run a compression test... so if u ccould elaborate on that id appreciate it. Thanks.

 

Very simple. Take out the wire fromt he dist to the coil. Take out one plug, screw the tester in, keep the pedal to the floor and crank till the gauge stops moving. Take gauge out and squirt some oil into the cylinder and retest. Perform same steps for all the other cylinders. The readings should be about the same for the pre oil and vary about 10%. If you get significantly more pressure after oiling, you have a piston ring problem.
