Hey everyone!

I'm brand new here as I haven't had an F body in several decades but I just made a deal to purchase an 88 IROC Z28 with a 5.7L TPI setup. I will be doing a ton of improvements from stock over the winter but i'm hoping to get a few rides in before the white stuff comes back. I live in Huntley, IL which is halfway between Chicago and Rockford. I'm an ex-certified mechanic and I still love working on cars and making them faster. I look forward to learning and helping others on here as time goes on.

Take it easy!
Todd

Ha Ha Robbie! Up here we have 4 seasons and white stuff in at least 1 of them. We aren't as lucky as you. Once I get it cleaned up and some stock/beginning pics taken, i'll post them. The car is fairly stock right now, but I have a lot of plans for it and i'm hoping to hit the high 500-low 600 hp mark with the engine build i'm thinking of. Thanks for the greeting and letting me know about my spelling error!

I am originally from Michigan. I miss having seasons. But being able to go out and drive every day of the year, it kind of makes up for it.
