Congratulations TPI TERR! Winner TGO COTM!!!

"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!!!"

Re: Congratulations TPI TERR! Winner TGO COTM!!!

I think the color is my fav part of my car besides the mighty ls1 lol

I have not considered a cam spec yet . I would only consider investing in a mail order tune to be able to drive it onto a tow truck Into a reputable tuners shop . Lol

Mike r will post some today just for u.

I agree with you my only reason for getting mail order is for the injectors , other than that I would drive straight there

Re: Congratulations TPI TERR! Winner TGO COTM!!!

Congrads to you Terr.. Next maybe a magazine like I mentioned before. It is possible. It's all about the article that you created this in your driveway. Some may not think that deserves a great A+ but in the end look what you created a awesome ride mag or not.

Beautiful car. Thank you for ditching the Daytona hood. Possibly the biggest faux pas ever on these cars.

Re: Congratulations TPI TERR! Winner TGO COTM!!!

Did you end up buying the "REVISED" A - Arms from UMI? I remember you put them for sale a while back. What type of bushing did you go with for the Lower Control Arms/Panhard Bar? Is it just the Torque Arm or are you relocating it as well? No Sub Frame Connectors or Wonder Bar?

I am not sure how I feel about attending an Event Planned/Coordinated By the Goose

Re: Congratulations TPI TERR! Winner TGO COTM!!!

Standard bushings on the suspension, revised version of the a arms . Torque arm will be installed with oem mount probably limited to space due to the true duals . No sfc's yet . Stock Iroc sway bars and stock .

Unaware of the drama but put everything aside and bring out that car to the track .

Yes Daytona hood was sold the same year I purchased the car lol
