My Big Block 1988 IROC

So I just snagged this puppy off Craigslist. 1988, 454. Got it for $6700, did I get a good deal? Has five easy 1/4 mile break in passes on the build. TCI TH350. Line Lock. Cage, racing seats. 4.11 gears. Holley 780 Vac Sec. HEI. 9.3:1 compression. Beefy hydraulic flat tappet cam, roller tip rockers.

It's mostly for the strip with a little street driving.

I have a lot of plans for it. I am thinking MSD 6AL-2, FAST EFI, eventually a 6X TCI Automatic, perhaps a shot of nitrous or maybe some boost.

Thoughts? Prayers lol?

It had slips with 12.5 - 12.9 times. Pretty good for break in passes I suppose and he did mention that it wanted to spin off the line. I feel there is a bit more there for sure, I will know more when I get it to the strip. I need to work on getting her to hook better.

Re: My Big Block 1988 IROC

The builder is putting together a packet to mail to me. Receipts for the parts and machine work as well as a thorough list of the mods that were done to the car. Once I get that I will share the info here. I was told it has the Comp cams xtreme energy 284h bump stick.
