crossfire renegade intake manifold?

Anybody order one of these new crossfire intake manifolds from "Dynamic crossfire solutions"? They say the intake alone will give you 33hp and 16 lb/ft of torque at the rear wheels with the timing set at 9 degrees.

What other crossfire mods to do I have a 84 corvette and thought this is the place to get good advice on my engine. The corvette forums only talk about car polish and wheel cleaners and battery tenders.

Headers and full exhaust. The exhaust on these cars was extremely restrictive.

Re: crossfire renegade intake manifold?

check out crossfireinjection forum.
I understand they will produce the Renegade once sufficient orders/deposits are received. Exterior photos look pretty good. Dont think the specifics of internal design are yet available to public. I think the XRam is out of production? Other than the Offy and Edel Sy-1 there are not many options. Not much room under that hood you know.

Re: crossfire renegade intake manifold?

I ordered a renegade intake and they sent me pictures of the inside, it looks really good. The runners taper from the inlet to the outlet like a gradual funnel, it looks like it will grab as much air and fuel and get it to the head in a hurry. They asked not to post the pics until they post them on their web site. It will run all stock equipmentincluding the EGR if needed.

Re: crossfire renegade intake manifold?

Years back Ken did a post of the flow specs of the stock CF vs Extrude Honed(check their site) and the XRam. Those tests I believe were done without the TB pods. Would be nice to see how this manifold compares. I guess a moot point if the heads/cam are not up to the task. search for those comparisions on CFinject.com.

Re: crossfire renegade intake manifold?

Resurrection in progress....

The first pre-pay orders have been shipping out to the customers. They are available now I believe. Pretty impressive. I kind of want my next thirdgen to be a crossfire Z28

Re: crossfire renegade intake manifold?

i have seen pics of the renegade and it looks really good
-comes with a new top plate too.
all the welding and porting i did to my stock manifold
to "wake up"my crossfire was a little bit of an ordeal
-if the renegade existed back in 1995 i would have
just bought one of those...

I have installed my renegade intake manifold. I am getting a 0-60 of 5.5 to 5.7 seconds and a best 1/4 mile time of 14.0 with lots of wheel spin and when it shifts into 2nd gear it spins the tires. The top end is dramatically improved, it wants to rev passed 5000 rpm now. I shift it into second at about 5300 rpm. A stock 84 vette will do the 1/4 in 15.3 so it is a dramatic impovement. My timing is at 12 and my fuel pressure is cranked up to 15 psi.

You say you are 14 flat? Not bad for an intake swap. I was hoping this would be a good unit, after all the threads I have seen over on the corvette forums. Btw is the engine stock aside from the new manifold?

Simple, remove the pump, the lines, plug the air lines into the manifold (remove shrader valve and use an npt cap) Very easy.

If I remove my EGR and diverter valve will the car act up? I live in a cold and muggy climate
