Re: Is this a Iroc or a RS

If that is the original hood, you can rest assured it is an RS. Our old 88 lo3 Camaro would come back as an IROC depending on where you ran the VIN, who was selling you insurance, etc.

I don't know about that. Unless it has stage 2 H.O exhaust, it might only be making stage 1 power. The 454tbi conversation might be able to just tell him how much power it makes though.
