86 Tpi
this is from the tech section on this site..
The original 215hp 305 TPI motor came out in 1985 available both in the Z28 and IROC-Z. The motor was detuned for 1986 losing 25hp due to a cam change.
so, if i got a new cam , i could gain back that 25 hp lost? from the cam change, i don't know much about cams, what kind would i need?

Very true, and it's always safe to err on the side of not enough cam, but there's still a good bit of room to improve on the factory cam. Summit sells a cam that claims a 40hp gain on a stock 86, although I don't have any actual experience with it, so I hate to actually recommend it.

The specs on that cam are the same as the '85 factory TPI cam, so 40 is stretching it a tad.

This is supposedly the cam that was in the '85 TPI, very close to the Summit cam. I have also seen elsewhere that the 85's cam had the same grind as the summit one.
