About “I ROC U”

I got this awesome 87 iroc-z camaro back in 93 and she was my daily driver just to work which was only about 3 miles away but in 98 there was a inside job and a whole gang stole my camaro which was in front of my work and took her to cali with thousands of dollars worth of clothing, grociers, jewelry, stereo equipment, and some apperance stuff and they put big bald tires on her and took everything in her. and about 3 months later they finally got arrested right before they sold her to a big mafia gang out in califonia.the people that stole my iroc were only in jail for maybe a week and they have stole several other vehicles before, but they were just given a slap on the wrist then got to go. but i drove her everyonce and a while then she sat in out drive way never washed or started or ever covered from oregons weather for 5yrs and well that caused her to sadily stop running but i finally got the money to get her running again and it was only suppose to be about 500 bucks but it was 1500 bucks parts and labor. but now she runs like new with only 27k miles on the clock and i am the 2nd owner and she is such a blast to drive! also i brough the paint back from the dead with plenty of washing, polish, and lots of wax!!! the body is pretty straigh exept for a couple little dings in the hood and on the side but unoticable and there is a good about of scratches but is very hard to see unless in direct light.

About “Project Boost”

bought the car 4 years ago for 800 bucks,dealer stated it needed a fuel pump when alls it needed was a ign module

UPDATE TIME
3 new videos added
first up installed a new t3/60-1 garrett turbo
second up
CAR WAS ON THE DYNO FOR THE FIRST TIME
had a few issues but put done some really good numbers
first issue was the ignition timming would not advance so it was locked at 8* btdc
second issue was it would not rev up over 5,100-5,300 rpms
with the 268/272 cam the power should really come in right around 5,600 and on the dyno it looke dlike it was going to but once it hit 4,800 rpms it just nosed over

even still the car put down
272RWHP AND AN AMAZING 376FTLBS @ only 9psi
i have no plans to redyno the car as im sure its making more then enough power even at low boost now thats its fixed to push me into the high 11's

Specs for “I ROC U”

she has a 305 tuned port injection engine which produces 190hp and 295torque attached to a 4spd auto with overdrive tranny, performance posi 3.23 rear end, 3400ish lb curb weight, 0-60 um not nothing fast but decent if you can controll the throttle right, top speed is probaly around 135ish but my tires limit me to 112. but i think 0-60 might be around 6.8 secs.

Specs for “Project Boost”

the car has recently just gone 13.008@104.85mph @ only 9 psi
though after reviewing the data logs form the run i have maxed out the 36.6 pound injectors and the car went dead lean for the last 3-400 ft of the track

on the way are some 65# injectors a methonal injection kit and a larger turbo to replace the small t3/t4 i have been running

the hybrid turbo i have been running is only good for 425 crank hp and i should be putting down about 390 crank as the car sits on 9 psi

Mods for “I ROC U”

only things i have on her is new tires, a leBRA ( looks rlly nice at night ), dual chrome exhuast tips, new sheepskin seat covers, steering wheel cover, chrome licence plate frame, valve stem covers, and thats pretty much it. i just found out i have kyb shocks on the front. and minus spare and the jack

future mods: nice custome paintjob, getting hood dent out and the other small ones, new decals and emblems, im going have to start with small upgrades to the tpi, exhuast, supension, brakes, then go bigger into the engine and then add nitrous and maybe supercharger . and hopefully im going be able to buy a 383 with s/c and nitrous in the future.
