The large VAM came stock in all SVO's. #1 bang for your buck modification is going to be a downpipe/exhaust and an adjustable boost controller.

Yes, all SVO's 84-86 had the large VAM. 87-88 TC's have the large VAM as well. You might consider sourcing an LA3 computer and 35# injectors from one. The LA3 is slightly more aggressive while also providing a bit smoother every day operation. Larger injectors are always good when playing with the boost, even if they are only 5# larger.
