The instrucktions for both are the same except for the decals.
The kits are slightly different from the original kits from 1984 tho' as the kits were altered for the later Pontiac Firebird Pro Stock bodies from 1991-92 and again for the 1999 Firebird kits, all are based on the same tooling from 1984.
So some things are different, the most obvious things are the bodies and wheels, the roll cage is slightly altered with a Funny Car style cage around the drivers head wich the originals didn't have, the rear wheel wells are modified some to fit the later Firebird bodies, the valve covers are different as the newer kits has welded sheet metal valve covers and the original versions had casted Moroso covers, the intake manifold is also different as the later one has the runners covered with sheet metal.
If you get hold of the Tony Foti L.A.P.D. version from 1991 the engine has a blower and you get a light bar for the roof, otherwise it's pretty much the same as the 1991 Pontiac Firebird kits except the body is a Camaro.
