Big Congrats to TPI TERR!!!

His amazing 1987 Iroc-z has been inspiring many people on this board for years to step their game up when modifying their Camaros! He has owned the car since 2003, and in 2008 he jumped into the LSX world and turned this work of art into an animal!!!

Here is the run down:

2002 ls1 drop out with a/c
T56 with monster clutch kit
K&N cold air intake
4G 3:42 differential
Custom true dual over the axle exhaust and Lt headers
Dyno tuned

BODY/INTERIOR
4g camaro fully functional dash board and 02trans am door panels
Hardwood cowl hood, custom rear spoiler , custom front grill, custom exhaust tips , custom rear air diffuser

BRAKES/SUSPENSION
14"c6z rotors and ctsv v1 brembos
Umi front a arms umi rear suspension components
Edelbrock stb eibach sportline springs

Re: August COTM ** Winner **

28x9.5 35mm offsets
295 35 r18 and 265 40 r18 up front

Back in 09 it was dyno tuned at 342rwho and i ran 8.1 @91mph at the local 1/8

Since then I have installed a complete better exhaust system (in comparison to the 2.25 piping) and installed several suspension parts to help out lower my et.

A differential and adj torque arm are on the way

Re: August COTM ** Winner **

I would love to see the back in some pics. Sounds like you did some work on a diffuser and tail pipe tips (Actually I have always been interested in true duals, but I am not tackling that animal). A few more pics would be awesome. Thanks and congrats. Dan

Re: August COTM ** Winner **

first let me say that has to be one of the best looking thirdgens i've ever seen.
that interior swap is amazing.
quick question though, in the picture of the blue and grey thirdgens, what kind of exhaust is on the grey one?
