3 engines in 23 years? Ouch...

Never liked American muscle cars after the early 70s but you do have a beautiful example of them

3 engines in 23 years? Ouch...

If you're blowing nitrous through them like I've seen at the strip it isn't too surprising. I've seen a few motors grenade from too much nitrous. I love the sound, I'm strongly against nitrous and prefer more elegant solutions.

When you need to replace the T-Tops give a yell, got a buddy with a stash of never used ones.

[Irocing]

As to the motors and nitrois, reason for three of them, I built, installed
them to showcase them for sale. Ex enginebuilder.
Never blew one on Nitrois. All the safeguards in place.
See if you can spot the Nitrois in the pic.

On the T-tops, still have the original glass ones and fabricated a special lock
so losing one at speed doesn,nt happen, as it does happen ocassionally.
Know lots of F body owners looking for new ones, either glass or lexan.

This motor is in for good. On the radical side but very streetable.
Sorry engine bay not all spick n span but not a trailer queen and gets driven from time to time.
Gets pampered for shows tho.

Thanks for Kudos from car guys.

Now THAT is a clean engine bay! Respect

[Kai Robinson]

Don't get me wrong, i like it a lot - it's why i have a supra, as i like the 2-door shape

Engine bay is very tidy - what EFi system are you using?

[Celcius]

Nice ride man
Got any shots of the backside?

[Irocing]

Its a TPIS MiniRam designed for upper range HP and RPM.

Tuned port injection that come on these cars standard, operate from
idle to approximately 4800.

These intakes perform best from about 3000 to 7000+ RPM with heavy engine mods.

As to shots of the rear, never did but probably do a 360 this summer as well as under it, as clean
as topside. And to show all suspension and exhaust mods which are extensive.
Old age slowing me down.

Back to new PC case setup

very clean man, I like the iroc Z's

[perry_78]

gorgeous car, but perhaps the wheels look a little too 'contemporary'?

[Irocing]

Contemporary

Thats because it is
Tried Photo Shop as to what all different wheels would look like on there
and after all said and done, The ones that came on it.

Thats what makes the Z-Cars, well, Z-cars.
Other than the hood and removing the Iroc door emblems prior to painting
wanted to keep it OEM on the outside.
Has earned quite a few 1st and 2nd place awards at shows so I guess someone likes it.
Thats the one thing alot of people comment on, Glad you kept the original
Rims.

I-930 Project getting close
