I need to know if they make an 88 Iroc 5 spped becuase this guy has one but my friend claims its fake but its not . i need reinsurance.

 

I don't know what you're going on about 5 speed something but there were no TBI Irocs

 

Yes there were. The LO3 was the base motor for the '88 model year IROC-Z, Formula, and Trans Am. The T5 or A4 was available as well. The LB9 was the option motor.

 

Rare or no? I have never ever in my life seen one and if its the same motor as my RS, which is faster?

 

Darn, could have sworn all irocs came with TPI motors. You'd know better than I would though.

 

Dont forget the SC

 

1988:

1988 brought about some welcome changes in the horsepower department, as well as a somewhat revised exterior scheme. The Z28 was discontinued, and the IROC was now its own model. For the first time in the history of the Camaro, no carbureted Camaros were available. All motors offered fuel injection of some sort. The base IROC motor had the TBI injection that was very similar to what was found on the trucks. A new camshaft finally found its way into the 305 TPI and boosted horsepower to 195 horse in the auto, and a stout 220 horse when backed with the T5. The 350 also got a small horsepower boost to 225 horse. All of the V8s starting in 88 had "guided rocker arms" that featured a stamped-in lip on each side of the pad that contacts the valve stem.

The exterior of the IROCs received a mild update for 88. The most noticeable difference is that the wheels have been slightly changed. Instead of one line through the center of each spoke, there were now two lines, and the center area was a little different. Here's an interesting tidbit: for the first time, the 16" wheel was an option on the IROC. The car came standard with a 15" version. Along with that, the IROC-Z decal was a little smaller and moved to the rear of the door instead of the front. The stripe along the ground effects line now had the black line above the silver. The silver Z-28 badges on the exterior have been replaced with orange IROC-Z logos.

 

So basically the TBI took over the LG4?

 

Correct.

 

I would have thought BS but I seen one 8 years ago in a salvage yard.

 

mine is 89 L03 IROC

 

I saw an LO3 IROC at the track and thought it was a fake... did some research, and found that it was really a 'Roc

 

Yes, the L03 was in the IROCs ...I got one. They also had the 15" rims too. They put them in convertibles especially.
