Technically it was but the 88 Monte Carlo SS was still a carbed L69

In 1985 the tpi pushed the hp rating to 215hp, but the carbed '85 HO version remained at 190hp. The carb was available until '87, that's right. The 350 upped it to 220 in '86(late '86)And in '89 a 305 dual cat, 5spd version saw 235hp. Then in '90 the 350 went to 245hp w/ spd / density, dual cats.
