I would be concerned with the idea of the thing. If you took out your Crossfire Inj. then that would mess up part of your electronics system and (I think) would be more trouble than its worth. But if you did get one on there I don't see a huge HP advantage.

I think a carb would make a ****-ton more power than crossfire inj. The only thing you really lose are you instant MPG readout and that crap. You retain the important stuff like coolant temp, volt, oil temp, oil press

I saw a conversion and he had to get all new gauges and redo the dash. He couldn't get everything to work right.
