I have the chance to buy an 86 TA Lg4 700R4 2:73 T-Tops Power everything with barely over 50K miles for $2500, but I would have to sell my 89 L98 Iroc which desperately needs paint T-Top seals and has 150k miles but still runs like a raped ape needs valve seals and other minor work arrg! I hate to lose my TPI 350 for a weak assed Lg4! damn how hard (expensive) would it be to regain the lost hp n torque????? The TA is beutifull by the way!

 

keep the IROC

 

Keep the IROC. Save money and rebuild your engine when you can afford to and get a paint job. No LG4 car is worth giving up a 350 TPI car.

 

Dude, even coming from a Firebird lvoer stick with the IROC, it's an L98 vs. an LG4 for *** sakes!

 

wait a min. let me defend the (LG4).I recently sold my '88 formula 5-speed which needed a little body work at the nose and acouple of touch ups,or a paint job.and it needed valve seals and had 135,000 miles. i sold it to buy a mint cond. 5-speed '84 firebird S/E recently painted pearl silver with only 65,000 miles.i bought it because it looked beautiful,had low miles and did'nt blow smoke at idle.i thought i was down grading in proformance. all i'v done to the car so far was hedders to a 2 1/2" y pipe to a 3" inter pipe out to a 80 series flomaster,removed emissions,homemade duel snorkel routed for fresh air, and your basic tune up. And the car has a stock 3.73 rear. And this son of a b*tch hauls ***. i've beten cars that i should have lost to. I've beten a '88 350 TPI formula, I hung with the LT1'S and a car load of people while my oppoent was just the driver. It all depends on your set up. every time i get behind the wheel nail the gas and slam through the gears i'm impressed. that LG4 305 has alot of *****. If you pass it up,especialy that its a firebird, you'll never know what your missing out on. Belive me i did not want to sell my '88, i loved that car.you should ask "jerflash", a good friend of mine from my neighbor hood about the ***** of my LG4, he posts on these boards frequently. Even he's amazed

 

Well You have 3:73 gears which makes a big diff thus one has 2:73 I'm still not sure what i'm gonna do

 

Well, you wanted to know how much more you would have to invest, right? So far, you need to change the rear to 3:73 gears, which is not a big deal. So go for it!

 

But I love my TPI it's so pretty! I guess what I was really looking for was a reason not to buy the TA cuz the more I think about it the more I want to keep the IROC. Come on it is a 5.7 TPI!
I think i'll try to find a way to buy the TA with out selling my BABY then i'll have both woo hoo!:lala:

 

Now your making sense

 

Dude. IROC-Z.

 

no IROC,,,,,,,,, IROC bad,,,,,, sound like crack rock
