What was the TPI of a 1990 Chevy Camaro?
Because the Borg-Warner axles were no longer being used for the G92 option, optional axle ratios changed slightly: LB9 305 TPI 5 speed went from 3.45 (1989) to 3.42 (1990) and the B2L 350 TPI went from 3.27 (1989) to 3.23 (1990). Content of G92 was expanded and purchased as a `performance package’ rather than requiring other options.
Why was there No Camaro Z in 1990?
The 1990 model year was only a half year of production due to Chevrolet not renewing the IROC contract, no IROC-Z’s were produced after 12/31/1989.
What’s the difference between a 1989 and 1990 Chevy Camaro 350?
One other difference between a 1989 5.7 IROC and a 1990 5.7 IROC are the pistons. The 350 (only) received lighter weight pistons thus a slight horsepower increase of 240 (1989) to 245 (1990).

What happens when you modify a Camaro engine?
If you’re modifying your engine to boost the performance, take into consideration that producing more power produces more heat, particularly for big-block engines.
What’s the hole in the front of a Camaro?
This hole is referred to as a weep hole. The shaft bearing can also wear out, and when it does, the front seal follows suit. If you’re going to restore your Camaro back to completely stock, you need to have an original water pump.
What happens when the shroud is removed on a Camaro?
Without a shroud, the fan pulls air from all around it, but fails to pull air through the radiator. When driving down the road at more than 20 mph, air forces its way through the radiator, but when you’re sitting in traffic or at a stoplight there’s nothing to make sure air is pulled through the radiator if the shroud is missing.

Do you need to change the radiator on a Camaro?
If you’re upgrading from a standard-duty pump to a heavy-duty pump with the larger shaft past the mounting flange, the shaft needs to be modified to fit in the fan. The factory radiators were painted gloss black. Radiators are a “wearing” item, so after 40 years in service they’ve typically been replaced or rebuilt and repainted.
