87 vert

just wondering if the 87 iroc verts came with the option to either get a tbi motor or a tpi motor. reason i ask is that i thought all irocs 87 and later only came with the tpi motor. i was browsing thru ebay and i seen an 87 iroc vert with a tbi motor. also i have just purchased a 88 iroc vert. i was wondering how many were made in 88.

1 of 950 here. Lord knows how many of the Pontiac's were V6's but all the V8's that year ('91)were TBI... or were they?

Willie... a couple questions besides the first one:

Did they make a TPI for Poncho convertibles in '91 or was that strictly a TA/GTA thing?

Second, where can I see your engine bay on the web? Twin Turbos. MmmmmmmMmmmmmm good.

I cannot comment on Firebirds. I only know Camaros.

How sad.

Thanks anyway.

Oh... and you gotta admit you chuckled at the pic. If not, I'll avoid your threads.

Thank you! A guy I sold my old wheels to has one of those '88's and is interested in the "Stage 1" chip I took out of my car.

Maybe I'll do him a favor and smash the chip.
