Hello everybody,
Yes i am a ***** and i admit it..... I am currently attending R.A [ricers annonemous] in the help to change my ways... so i am purchasing an iroc to rid me of this bug.... please help me through these troubling times.... many thanks AZMAN... please post your responses to help me through it.......

 

LOL RA..... well all i can say is good for you. well need to help all ricers see the light good luck on your next car purchase.

 

good luck with the new purchase. Make sure you go for a 305 5 speed or a 350 IROC. I still say 350 though..it's the best bang for your buck.

 

Make sure you get the TPI engine. The TBI cars really give gains to most mods. Not nearly as good as the TPI cars. Either that or carb.

 

Another one has seen the error in their ways. Like Cobra killer said try to find a 305 5-speed or 350 car. Although I feel that any 3rd gen V8 Firebird or Camaro you can get has a lot of potential. Look at my car I hardly think it is really slow

 

What these guys have said and your first mod should be full exhaust.

Don't buy an IROC or any Camaro with the LG4 or LO3 engine.

 

stay import man just not rice

go out and buy a rx-7

 

Buy a Mustang!!! They are cheap and mod easily.

Okay so if you really want a Camaro, I say go with an 85-86 LB9 or any L98. try to get a 5-speed 305 if you get one. Good luck and welcome to the real world!!!

 

thanks guys... yes i am after a 305 tpi 5 speed... but they arnt exactly thousands of them down here in Australia....but i am looking around for that right one....

 

I say get a 305 5-speed and swap to a 350 (or larger ) or get a 350 and swap trannies. Failing that, either get a 305 5-speed and leave that combo in there or better (except for looks and high ride height ) get a 5.0 notchback mustang or a 4 cyl notchback and swap in a 5.0 (or larger ) and work the suspension including torque arm and panhard rod. Can you tell I dislike 305's

However, I love my little Formula.

 

"Don't buy an IROC or any Camaro with the LG4 or LO3 engine"

He's not kidding. Listen to him.

I'll admit, I halfway knew what I was getting into when I bought it. I knew it wasn't that powerful, but, it was a V8 RWD car with T-Tops and it was sure cooler than mom n dad's Lumina (now driven by my little bro who dosen't take care of it for spit unlike me). I just didn't realize that it was so easily beat by other cars. Oh well, mod time! I've got the $$ for headers now, should be happening soon!

 

just outta curiosity AZMAN... what didya drive before when u were a "*****"

u wouldnt happen to drive any one of these ??
SUPRA TURBO, RX7 Turbo /TT , 300ZX TT or a 3000GT VR4
:P

cos these rock....

 

the L03 intake has more potential than the tpi setup, its got the easy set up of carb and the fuel efficiency of efi, if you have lots of mod money go with the L03............ it just sucks when its stock....... mines pretty quick, i feel gains with every mod and ive beaten a tpi 305 stock with mine and a worked integra (heh no wonder) and a 70's monte carlo with a ****ty 350..... only reason i beat that car was cuz its a ****ty 350 lol and its real heavy.

 

I am currently driving a Nissan Pulsar SSS, cannon exuast, rear wing, stupid **** graphics... it was a phase i went through... i am 18 yrs old and have seen the light......still looking for a good camaro........ Can some one please tell me in the 5.0's how do i know if it is a lg4 or lo3 are these tbi.....????? cause i am after a TPI

 

i know the these

L03=305 TBI
LG4=305 Carb <-----has been corrected
LB9=305 TPI
L98=350 TPI
B2L=350 TPI


thanx black85

 

LG4 is the 305 4bbl carb

 

L69 has a CARB too!!!
lol

i would go for a formula 350 though
man i love those....or a GTA.......or a TTA would b even better

but tear it up man im glad you are non rice anymore....now if only i can get some of my friends to change over.....lol

 

Make sure you get a fuel-injected one.
I would say go with any V8 but try to find one
with positraction.

As far as getting a tpi over a tbi.... that's crap
The tpi system has a 4800 rpm ceiling(stock)
And they are a ton $$$ and a P.I.T.A to mod


GET A TBI!!! the stock one sucks but spend $350
on a newer one and have carb-like power with
F.I. effeciency.

 

i dunno i'd take port injection over throttle body injection any day of the week. Just cause the TPI cars don't have a great powerband from the intake stock doesn't mean anything. Modify a TPI setup and it will be alot quicker than the TBI. Get a mini-ram or superram and run that against an edelbrock TBI setup and there's no comparison. TBI is good for a truck. But not for a camaro IMO

 

MPFI kicks ***. well be that as it may, TBI is a hell of alot cheaper to mod. i myself am partial to tpi, minram, stealth ram, or other mpfi system. i believe it is much more efficient.
