I haven't had it to the track, but it dynoed at 295 rwhp. and 355 rwtorque. The base hp was 215 rwhp and 286 rwtorque. I was pleased with that since I didn't want to abuse a stock 350. It has 42lb injectors, custom chip, only putting out 5 or 6 psi., and a 3 core intercooler.

So its bone stock with just a D1 blower and support? You have to crank the boost to 8-9/10 PSI.

Yes you are right in mentioning 8-9/10 PSI, but i am having fun with less for now. Just want to not beat on this motor/tranny/rearend. Everything is mostly original. I know that Procharger (I believe) claims that the stock drivetrain can safely handle 9PSI, but I am going more conservative for now. I don't have a lot of extra funds to put in the car these years with a family and all. Hell I am lucky the wife/boss lets me keep it in the first place...

I would like to someday go to LSx of some version 1-9 with the Procharger...if i blow my L98 combo up...

Ohh by the way mine is the weaker P1SC....I still love this little torque monster of a tpi motor though.

Re: Hottest looking IROC-Z's

I think that the IROC-Z my wife had purchased before we got married was one of the nicest IROC-Z's on TGO after we finished painting it and getting wheels for it, but that's a biased opinion.

Re: Hottest looking IROC-Z's

Thats a real nice car! Nice to see some more cars from northern california as well. Did you notice a significant difference in the way your car handles when you put on that strut tower brace?

Thanks man, where in Norcal are you? You should definitely look at the Norcal message board and check out some of our upcoming events.
In all honesty, I did the strut brace with lowering springs, poly bushings throughout, and wider wheels. So it's hard to say how much difference it makes. Maybe one of these days I'll pop it off and see if I can tell. I'd say yes though, everything upfront feels nice and tight.

Thanks! It's a crate 350 short block, AFR 180's, Comp 218/224, headers and exhaust, ported tpi, ran a best of 13.8 on the stock chip. Needs a tune to get more out of her.

I would suggest making a thread filled with pics of your car and what you have recently done to in in the appearance board so that its fresh in peoples memory... I feel like sometimes the "nicest" car, can be the one that gets good pics and lots of comments, and has been put infront of people.

Re: Hottest looking IROC-Z's

That cool. I'm from Tracy in the central valley. Yeah I'll have to look at the Norcal message boards some more.

Yeah, I understand about that strut brace. I've gotten to the point with my car where the drive train has been gone through. Now I am going to turn my attention to the suspension and the brakes next.
