That torque might be wrong but I'm pretty sure the rest is right.
The air cleaner set up is very restrictive, a 5.0 TPI IROC is 215 hp (5speed).
I think high 15s in the 1/4 GTAs are pretty heavy. But at least you have "the good cam"

I'm not sure about the years but the post 1987-88, 305 TPI,stick cars had somewhere between 210-230HP, depending on if it was a single-cat or a dual-cat car. Add 5HP for Chevys due to a cold air set-up.

Dual cats weren't available till 89. If the car has a 9 bolt rearend it has 3:45's. 3:42 is a GM ratio.

Not too many 87 GTAs would have 3.42s... those are available in the 10-bolt. Most GTAs came with a 9-bolt, for which that ratio is unavailable. 3.45 was the equivalent one that was used. I take it your rear has been swapped at some point.

Maybe i should read the title before i post. For some reason i thought it said '85.
I have a '87 IROC with 5 speed, 3.45 limited slip rearend. It is rated at 215 hp. The gta was rated at either 205 or 210 hp. in '87.
