Hey Cooter, what year is your car? What gear are you running with the 350?

I finally got around to taking a picture of the IROC. I've already started removing street equipment. It's waiting it's turn to go in the shop.

My car is ran as a 91-92 with 4.88 gear. Most everyone with fuel injection that I'm aware of runs the 4.88, guys running carburetor combos use the 5.13

Thanks for the compliments cooter, mike feel free to contact me on my cell anytime, 225-717-1461 or my shop number 713-477-4430, I've personally race a 305 1986 camaro in stock in the late 90's to 2000's and ran good with it and Shane Burkett is a customer of mine and has an extremely fast TPI 350 combination that we did for him, so either route you choose we can fill the need.

Thanks Allen. I'm a long way from needing power for this thing. I'm still stripping junk off of it. I'm about ready to get it in the shop and put a roll bar in it and then on to suspension.

Finally finished with the roll bar, all welded and painted. time for subframe connecters.

So I got my brand new Strange rearend assembly. It came with a chrome cover, do i need to put one of those girdle covers on it? I'm going to run the 245/350 combo in this car with an automatic.

Mike take alot of photos and keep updating. I had an 82 that was back halved (old school) had a 565 with turbo 400 (was outlaw street car) love those camaro's. It was street legal and I would cruise it up to sonic by my house. 3200 lbs. 7.81 @ 185 at Baytown.

Read every line of the rule book, got some awesome knowledge on this site.

Mike, I run the same combo as your building. When your making decent
power, they must leave fairly harshly to make a decent run. They are not
going to make up much E.T. on the second half of the run. I run a girdle
and I know they don't hurt. I would say yes. J.R.

I know it's been a long time since my last update but I'm finally making some progress. If I had a smart phone I would post some pics. I've got the doors put back together, back bumper back on, rear hatch ready to go on. back half starting to look good.
