WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE HP OF THE CAMERO TPI TO THE TA TPI IN 1986

 

Supposidly none, but with the crappy intake system on the TA's, I'd say the Camero's win by 10hp.

the book from gm says that 1986 trans am 305 tpi is rated at 210 hp and the camero 305 tpi is rated at 190 hp i no there was a cam change in 86 but they didn't change the cam in the ta. but both tachs redline at 5000 rpm

 

Nun:

What do you do here, just read your "book" and then quiz people about what you have just read? That's what most of your posts are, just asking questions and when someone answeres you tell them that it's different in your book. I for one am tired of this game you're playing, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way here.

By the way, since you also seem to like these kinds of questions.... tortise and a rabbit.... who would win?

I dont know what gm book you have , but you need to send it back. The 85 lb9 is 210 hp in the ta the 86 is not. They have a different cam. And the engine produces 5 more stock horsepower in the camaro due to the breather.

Now a question for you . If you have tbi then you dont have the lb9 engine you have the l69.
The l69 was 190 hp in the ta. Have you checked to see what you have? Have you run your vin number? Do you know the difference between tpi and tbi.
