86 Iroc vs. 86 Trans Am

So my brother has an '86 Trans Am 305 TPI with an HEI supercoil, K&N Air Filter, and a borla muffler.

I have an '86 Iroc with the same 305 TPI. I just rebuilt the top half of my motor, new fuel injectors, new vacuum system, new harmonic balancer, sensors, etc. I am running hedman shortys with a y-pipe, no cat, and a flowmaster muffler (all this work done in the last year).

Both cars have over 100k, eliminated A/C and eliminated all emissions. We constantly mess around with each other but haven't gotten around to a straight, actual race. Who do you think would win?

Is his a 5 speed? If so, he might be able to edge you out.

Re: 86 Iroc vs. 86 Trans Am

IF the miles, wear, etc. are roughly the same (100k & 160k aren't quite the same), I'd say yours too, based on your exhaust & new top end (&injectors). Older injectors can get bad flow..

Re: 86 Iroc vs. 86 Trans Am

Both autos. I forgot to mention, he's got 55 width Z-rated tires on his GTA rims. I've just got some 50 width radial TAs on my stock megs. His car gives a puff of white smoke at startup, though, due to his tired heads lol. I just cleaned, wirebrushed my valves, and put new o-rings in my heads and I'm glad I won't be having that problem any time soon.

Re: 86 Iroc vs. 86 Trans Am

How close is the actual Mileage? If they are close, the race should be pretty close depending on the drivers.

Re: 86 Iroc vs. 86 Trans Am

You should probably get him by a car or so, give or take. If they have the same rear gears.
