88 the first of the 350TPI's in F-bodies came out, stay away from them. 230hp 330TQ, you'll get absolutely destroyed off the line.

If it's a TBI, 170 hp piece of trash. If it's a 305 TPI, it's 195hp unless it's a 5 speed which managed to escape the 'peanut' cam crappiness at GM and pushes out 220hp.

 

So in short, the best case scenario for you is that you'll only lose by a little to a 5.0L TBI (throttle body injection) car. At worst, you'll be staring down the barrell of a torque monster 5.7L TPI (tuned port injection) car. They are easily modified to overcome the lack of top end while retaining the big low end.

 

In any case, why is he trying to race V6 Mustangs? That's sad.

 

IROC Z's also had a 350 TPI. And there were no SS built in the 3rd gen body style.
