1100 Mile road trip in my IROC..
Just took an 1100 mile road trip in my 89 Iroc. Everything worked great. The car is a 5.0 tpi with a 700r4 and 2.73 gears. The motor was built by me. It still has the original block and heads. I averaged about 24 miles per gallon. It was an awsome trip from PHX to OKC. Here are some pics:
