Same engines available in both, you could even get IROCs with the low-po LG4s in them. Which is kinda sad actually.

I think the LG4 was avaliable until 87, then they were all FI.

Back when I was TPI, I pulled an 8.2 eigth which computes to like a 12.9 or something like that I think. But this motor is a f****** dog, and its coming out soon. Theres a 400 block sitting beside, it that Im putting together now.

I'm not really sure why so many people on this board feel the need to bash other peoples cars, everyone's got a camaro don't they?

Do you really think that the IROCs are that much better then all other 3rd Gen. Camaros? Come on now, there was even a post on there that wrote out the representation of IROC as if that really means anything.

First of all it's "International Race of Champions" not Race(car) it was named for a race series, if you think that adds an extra 200hp to your car your sorley mistaken. (On that note Dodge bought the naming rights to IROC in 91 and sold Daytona IROCS, I guess those where production race cars too right?)

Does an IROC have some upgrades? Of course it does, but it dosen't give you the right to say RS's suck. It's basically the same car, and you can easily mod an RS to be better then an IROC (we're talking about cars that are almost 20 years old by now, who cares about stock for stock at this point.)

By todays standards an Unmodded IROC is slow, so is an unmodded RS, congrats you have a faster stock slow car, if that makes you feel good then be proud, personally I'd buy the better looking 3rd Gen and go from there, at this point unless your a collector it's all going to be modded anyway.

TPI is just useless for a quarter mile car, cause it runs outta steam at 4500 or so RPMs. THey can turn some mean eigths though.

I havent bought anything for the 400 yet, Im gonna wait till after christmas, so Ill have $ to spend. Ive been building around it letely. Race fuel pump, and Ive been doing lightning work to the car. I'm trying to get a tranny put together for it too, but I cant get one that I want.
