Thanks to all that have helped out with answering a ton of inane questions over the past couple of years my project.
A special thaks to Mr.Iroc-Z for the inspiration, if I had never seen his car I would have sold mine a long time ago.

Looks good.

How do you like the zz4? Is it enough power for the street?

I'm thinking zz4 or maybe a tpi zz383 for my vert.

Not broken in yet, but holy smokes its torquey!
Huge improvement over the 305.
I also installed a Holley AFPR, Edelbrock Hi Flow runners, TES headers and an SLP stainless catback.
So far all the expense and skinned knuckles seem to be worth it.

Go with the zz 383 you will like it better. It is nice to hear the cam in it especially with a nice 3inch exhaust system.

Here is a short idle clip of mine Putfile - my 90 iroc

Hey buddy, car looks great! I especially like the dash guages...very smooth!I'm glad to know that I was an inspiration to keep your car!

Now you are my inspiration to finish my car! My ZZ383/T56 install is still in progress...hope she is finished soon!
Who burned your PROM for the ZZ4?

Thanks,
Tommy
