Another third gen... always good news!
Welcome! 
I have a 383 project '91 Formula at Blaine Fabrication right now. Car is an original TPI 305 5 spd...got some new Konis for it, Alan is doing the 383 swap, T-56 swap, SLP 1-3/4 headers, custom exhaust and SFCs. We are going with the SuperRam plenum and runners on top of a TPIs Big Mouth intake. All this will be topped off with a LPE 219 cam. Should be a real screamer! Right now I'm trying to decide on a dual cat exhaust system that won't get me arrested! 
Tell us about your car and how you would like to use it and we can make some recommendations! Mine's going to be a street cruiser primarily with some autox and occasional easy demo lap at the local road race track (I'm an instructor at Thunderhill Park at Willows, CA).

... yea, I could really see that happening as described. Like you said, should be a real screamer.

I bought a new IROC in 1985, and drove it until 2001; put over 200,000 miles on it. Kinda wish I still had it.

I have an 85' IROC with the a 383ci. built by Rick CLine out of Florida. Very successful player in the SCCA for years racing and building engines. Still have the t-5 and its holding on quit well. I have Hotchkis all around the bottom with Bilsten shocks. Working on a brake set up to run effective in the AIX series out of Florida. The car looks good thou, it copies the Corvette grand sport with the dark blue paint black ZR1 rims and red white and blue race strips. Lets talk brakes, brakes, brakes!!!! Look forward to talking and meeting some of you as well
