TPI's started coming with factory roller cams in 1987. Assuming yours is all stock, it wont have a roller cam.

My 85 Iroc has drum brakes on the rear. I dont know if disc on the rear are rare, but I would def want them.

Re: Factory roller cam?
You can have rear discs on an 85, but the setup-from what I understand-is sorta a crap system. I have heard of the calipers seizing up easily. Also, they are smaller than the later BW 9-bolt setups, which had aluminum calipers and larger rotors. I would switch to that if possible.
