As we know the IROC started life as a handling/appearance option(RPO-B4Z) for the Z28 in '85.Then in '88 to mid '90 the IROC became the performance model of the line but it still contained RPO-Z28.Essentially the "base" IROC was the previous year's Z28 with the LO3 and the 15" 5 spoke wheels.The LB9 returned for '90 as a no cost option as did the 16" wheels.Midway thru the '90 model year Chevrolet didn't renew the contract with the IROC series.The Z28 returned as the top model but with as a '91 model early with the LB9 as it's standard motor.The biggest exterior difference between them would be the Z28's hi-rise rear spoiler(did the '90 IROC receive this before it was discontinued?)and the return to just Z28 exterior badging.

I know I've left info out but this is my understanding of them.Hope it helps.
