The 1990/92 5.7 Z28s had like 15 more HP and alot more torque then the prevous 5.7s, 350trqe to be exact. The TPI has more torque than an Lt1 to and can get a small jump off the Lt1 on the line, then by the time the Lt1 hits 3rd gear, the better drive train, gearing, and more power takes over and its all over for the TPI.
Someone else could probabily get more techanical than i can though, but thats pretty much it.
Nowadays most thirdgen camaros are ragged out with high miles and all, aftermarket parts are expensive and hard to find so most are stock, they dont even make an aftermarket intake for a TPI Fbody and thats one of its worst power problems, so its hard to find a good example of a GOOD RUNNING L98 to compare your car with out their, 19/20 times youll be racing something thats been neglected. Thats one reason ill never get rid of mine, its one of the "few" nice 3rdgen camaros.
