Cross Fire Modifications

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the site and have a basic question. I am considering purchase of a 1982 C3 with the Crossfire carb system. I’ve heard this system is difficult to modify to increase performance? Is it possible to remove the intake and carbs and replace with a 4 BBl intake and carb? Will it be compatible with the computer system? I'd also like to add headers. Anything else I should consider before purchase?

Thanks very much for your info.

you can slap a carb on it and just do away with the ECM but why??

Headers are no problem, dynomax hedman, all of them make headers that fit.

For more CFI info: http://www.crosfire.homeip.net

there's info there that will make your car run better than a 4bbl carb swap will.

Reason being, I'm an old school hot rodder and the std 4 barrel will be easier for me to work with, especially if I add nitrous at some point. I am willing however to give the Cross Fire a chance. Thanks for the link to the crossfire site, very good info!

Thanks for the advise, please wish me luck on negotiating a deal and becoming one of you, the few and proud!

if you go to a carb you also have to change distributer and you will need a lock up for the transmission .if you are going to drive on the street ,leave the throttle bodys on .the crossfire is good for 300to400 hp . go to the crossfire web site.

Re: Cross Fire Modifications (terry82)

So, can I add nitrous with a cross fire? I don't want to get spanked by my sons' cars:

1995 Z-28 Convertible - Headers, cut out, functional SS hood, air foil, LT4 knock module, 160 F thermostat, Reprogrammed PCM, Trick Flow Elbow, TB bypass, Descreened MAF, RAM Performance clutch & PP

1995 Trans Am w/ T-Tops - CAI, cut out, Descreened MAF, TB bypass, Hurst Short Throw Shifter (Hey, I'm just getting started)
