Well a 350 is a stock motor for an 85 Iroc..so who knows how bad that motor was...
There were no OE 350's in an 85 IROC. Originally, my 85 IROC was an LG4 with 155 hp. The L69 had 190 and the LB9, 215. So, "IF" the IROC was in truth a 305 and only got beat by 3/4s of a length, I'd say that wasn't so sad.

Given that thirdgens are generally pretty anemic where horse power is concerned, I'm not surprised at a 20-year-old newer truck with a 350 would win (though if the IROC was only a 305, the truck really didn't perform that well, IMO). Thirdgens were kickass on the skidpad and slaloms and few full-sized trucks, then or now, could provide much competition.

Bad idea. Bro Drops neutral, Gives it a 5 grand rev.
He launches and we launch...........
If your bro keeps doing 5grand neutral drops on that 4L60 he won't be passing anyone for long.

yea he did a 5 grand neutral bomb, it was an 85 iroc with a 350, AND after the camaro lost he wouldnt be saying hell yea its a 350 after losing to a truck. i beat my buddys 94 silverado with a 350 TBI in my LO3 camaro. it doesnt add up dude
idk about that.....i had an 86 iroc 350 and my buddy has the same truck exept its a 96 and he DIDNT STAND A CHANCE when we would mess around so that 350 must have been running like dog s*#t.....or you've got a factory freak

I call BS on this one. I have a buddy with the same kind of truck and i whip him all the time with my 305 IROC. and i havent really even done mods to it just EFI to carb. just my
my 305tpi with full exhuast and 3.73s can smoke my dads 2wd 5.3 LM7=ls1 type motor from a dig......sooooo i dont think so mann..it was proli a v6 thirdgen lol nice bs'ing
I'm also calling BS because I know that my 89 formy from a dig would not get traction through first but when it grabbed, it would pull on a trail blazer ss. I am saying either BS or the third gen was a 2.8 that was in bad tune. Hell, my 2.8 fiero with a 5 speed would kill a k1500 truck and I have raced the two cars next to each other and my bird's little 350 tpi wastes the fiero by about 10 to 12 car lengths in the quarter mile!
My stock gta just pulls on my 08 gmc, and it has an lq9, almost 400hp. weight makes a big difference. The truck is like 6k lb, the gta is 3.5k lb and I was in the gmc and my wife was in the gta, I drive better, both autos. I’d say bs
5K neutral drop... wow that tranny is going to be dead soon. As far as i'm concerned it was probably the kid screwin with you by saying Sarcastically "hell yea".... O and your bros an idiot for doing a neutral drop.... Only dumbasses do that..... But hey want to kill the tranny go for it....
In my old mans 95 K1500 Chevy. 350 Carb, Accel Plugs-Wires, Holly Carb.
Rolling down mainstreet, He decideds to burp us.
Bad idea. Bro Drops neutral, Gives it a 5 grand rev.
He launches and we launch, we had him about 3/4 car lenght to the stop sign.
He rolls down the window, I yell, 350?
He says Hell yeah.
Good race, But a sad IROC.
Hey I see your from Michigan. So why dont you and your brother bring daddy's lil truck down to Martin, Michigan and me and your daddys truck along with 4 of my other thirdgen buddys (3 happen to be IROC's) will run the quarter and see who really talks bs then.. Ive seen you bs posts over and over, enough with it. (ive even got a friend with a 350 TBI 93 K1500 mainly stock that said he'd race you)
My stock gta just pulls on my 08 gmc, and it has an lq9, almost 400hp. weight makes a big difference. The truck is like 6k lb, the gta is 3.5k lb and I was in the gmc and my wife was in the gta, I drive better, both autos. I’d say bs
LQ9 is not even close to 400 hp and the TQ Management turns it into a SLUG. The torquey TPI engines will easily jump that truck.
I have a 5.7 TPI in my Chevrolet Van. 0-60 in under 7 seconds at 6,000 lbs.
I really doubt a stockish 95 Chevrolet K1500 can take my heavy fullsize van, much less a TPI F-body.
Hell my 4.7 powered Dodge Ram Quad Cab has out-run a few RCSB 5.7 TBI trucks at the track and it was a DOG.
I doubt the IROC in question was actually a 350; people constantly are fooled when buying second hand 305 equipped cars since they don't check block serial numbers and visually they look the same.

Ill admit it happened to me, had never owned a third gen before, none the less even looked into them, found my T/A online guy wanted to trade for my other car, looked under the hood said to myself ok its got a 350... got it home and nope 305 haha..

That is true. Alot of people from my area think that all IROC's came with the 350. My old man picked up a 88 iroc years ago with a 350 and he claimed that all iroc's with the 350 where all LT1 350 engines.

too bad they didnt do 350s in irocs in 85! not till 87...

It's possible that someone swapped one in. In 24 years of ownership, someone along the line could have swapped in a 350. My bet is that someone told him when they sold him the car it was a 350 since that sounds sooo much better for resale.
