There sure was a big drop in power from 1974 to 1975. 1975 was the year that the General Motors started putting catalytic converters in the f-bodies. My '75 used to have them...not anymore.

I don't believe that the RPO T96 is IROC specific. The reason that I say that is, my 1987 z28 has RPO T96 Lamp, Fog. I don't have any of the other RPOs that you listed.
