got my iroc

i love this car after only having it for 24 hrs i can never wait to drive it i mean it needs a tune up and some carb cleaner badly so im prolly only runnin like 200 ponnies so when i change the cap and rotor and spark plugs air filter fueld filter i should be at max power which im estimating over 300

here are some pics me and my friend got up just ignore the rice mines at the bottom including the system pic.

i remember about 6 yrs ago, everyone and their dog had a 3rd gen camaro and i got so tired of seeing them. then i got my liscense and drove one and saw the light. now they've become an addiction

that front clip isn't the original, nice car tho.

Yeah isnt that nose from a berlinetta?

now one thing when i turn the car off it still runs for a few sec's b4 dieing like stalling running is it b/c i need 2 clean the carb and get a tune up?

and i know its not original the entire front end is plastic

now one thing when i turn the car off it still runs for a few sec's b4 dieing like stalling running is it b/c i need 2 clean the carb and get a tune up?

what does your temp look like when this happens? sounds to me like it's diesling.

temps at 170 my dad said to try turning it off in gear or he thinks its b/c im cheap and put 87 in it

what does everyone think? should i up the octane or turn it off in gear

what's your compression ratio? i'm runnin about 10:1 compression and maybe a little more on regular 87 octane

That is most probably your problem. I have the same problem with my Nova when I cheat a little and put the 89 octane in. Just shut the car off while in drive or whatever, like your dad said, then put it in park.

What engine is in it and is it stock and if its the LG4 engine thats like only 160 hp or it has to be the L69 which is only 190 Hp and thats not even at the rear wheels so i doubt u runnin 200 hp. and tell me how do u expect to gain 100 horsepower off a tune up??

Ewww...Cheap gas. Come on at least put 90 into it. Atleast 90 isn't oxygenated and it's like tripple filtered.

I remember one day when I only had like 5 bucks in cash and I needed gas to go get my check ( never ran anything under 90 in it before. ) I decided , hey what the hell , It's just five bucks ,i'll fill er' up with 91 after and throw in some octane booster to clean it out.
God damn my car hated that. Engine stalled a couple times , no pick up , bogged a bit. Better octane is definently better performance.

And yes..how the hell do you get a 100 HP gain from a tune-up , Let me know the secret.

its a 350 with head and cam work it also has forged internals and yes it is real wheel drive what do u think ima pussy haha anyways i dunno i know the plugs dizzy cap and rotor are all really shot like barely any life in em and the air filter is really dirty and so is the carb.

it also has a holley carb with headers and a flowmaster exaust
