This is the second part of the “Emissions Mouse” articles featuring the transformation of a 160hp LG4 into a 308hp 350.
Enjoy!
This article was published in the July 1987 issue of Car Craft magazine. It details the effect of two different exhaust systems on the Third Gen LG4 engines and what performance gains they experienced. The Edelbrock TES dropped 0.7s off the car’s 0 to 60mph time, the Banks system added 22 RWHP uing a butchered stock cat (dropped 0 to 70mph by 0.93s).

This article is from the June 1987 Popular Hot Rodding that shows a bolt-on parts impact on a (new) 1987 LG4 Firebird Formula. The article shows the impact in both power (RWHP) and also the 1/4 mile performance of Edelbrock tubular headers, 3″ cat, stock TPI exhaust, Performer 3701 EGR intake manifold, and a custom cold air kit. The car picked up 48 hp at 4500rpm and gave a 1/4 mile performance of -1.28s and added 8.4mph!
