Default 84 crossfire

would it help my horse power by adding nitrous , a turbo, or supercharger, possible a cam on my crossfire or would it be better to do a motor swap to a ls1 or carberated 350

First, what shape is your engine in? If it's tired, and you decide to go the FI route, your going to have to dig into it anyway.

you can do a carb swap on your crossfire motor but it will kill your gas mileage but you will see a nice increase in power. First though try porting your intake manifold, maybe an exhaust and it will wake up the car alot. I have an 84 and for now going to port the manifold, exhaust, k&n filter and do a proper tune up. its a major difference over stock with just those things. I was originally going to do carb swap but decided against it. You can also have your throttle bodies ported, headers and cat delete for alittle more hp. Could throw a small shot 50-75 of nitrous if you really wanted to. ls1 swap really wouldnt be worth it, just sell the car and get 92-96 vette(not ls1 but still much better motor and cheaper).
