Re: 4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer
I think my recollection is a bit different. Though the TPI was one of the sexiest looking setups, they ran out of breath quickly with anything better than stock heads. Correcting it was expensive and at the time there were very few reliable tuners. I think there were plenty of carbed guys who were satisfied with their performance.

Re: 4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer
Accel was the guys to turn to when it came to TPI performance. They had a better flowing intake, runners, computer and wiring setup as well as their own upper plenum called the Super Ram. Really woke up the TPI engines.

Re: 4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer
350 auto in 87, 305 TPI 5-speed in 87 too
no "factory" built 350 manuals although I DID drive a stripper "proving grounds" built 350-5speed down to an event in Florida in early 87, it was a test mule for the 1LE package ...

Re: 4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer
No 350's with a stick. I had a T/A with the carb and a 5 speed, nice rumble but a real dog. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

Re: 4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer
I've always been a fan of these cars as well.
This was my college ride. It began life as a 91 RS 305 5 speed convertible. I found a low mileage 91 1LE TPI 350 t top car and robbed the engine, wiring, and rearend from it. You couldn't get a 350 with a 5 speed. You could also not get a 350 with a convertible. I ended up with a 5.7 TPI 5 speed convertible. The car was a blast and got me into a bit of trouble driving through Volcano National Park from the Hilo side of the Big Island to Kona. I had a Paxton supercharger ready to bolt on it but I sobered up after the brush with the Federal cops in a National Park. Jason

Re: 4.3 mile '85 Iroc Camaro Found In Trailer
Why did it have junk tires on it when it came out of the trailer

For long term storage without any care I suspect to keep the original tires from going flat?
