Default FI or nitrous crossfire?

what, if any, are the options for supercharging the crossfire engine? or would this be a totally custom job?

i'm assuming nitrous would be fairly straightforward, just Y the line and spray into each of the tb's....

are there any options for larger injectors, fuel management, computer upgrades, etc.?

googling hasn't returned anything for me. plenty of tpi L98 info, but nothing for the crossfire.

There's forum member, sorry forget who, that has a Vortec on an 84. He put something similar to a carb hat on it to connect the two throttle bodies today.

That was me. The first summer I had the supercharger was 2001.



I have a lot of pictures here:

I sold some of my old parts about a year and a half ago. They were just for sale on ebay.

I measured about 65% increase in peak hp with 10 psi boost at redline.

Blue with and yellow without supercharger on the stock engine.
