I didn't see a section for introdutions so I figured it would be best in the region I'm from Palm Springs, and this is my Trans Am '83 crossfire car I picked up from San Diego about two weeks ago. Idk what the crossfire deal is, this car runs great although it does need some speed parts as my Caddy would smoke it

 

Welcome to the forum, and in regards to the performance you are better off with a TPI or LSX swap.
BTW clean car; do you have any more pix

 

welcome you can learn a lot at this site. and i say dont liston to nay sayers about your car at the end of the day its how you want your car

 

Clean car & welcome.Crossfire is the name of the engine or intake system actually.

 

Yeah, don't listen to this guy. Im more impressed seeing a working CFI than another LS/TPI swap.

 

I think that gm high tech ran a crossfire injection (project ) they were working on last year it didnt turn out that good for h.p I'll backup jmr ls1 or tpi for h.p

 

Just curious, have you seen the intake ports ....ummm half an intake ports on a crossfire manifold?

 

pass the popcorn


welcome..bird is clean id suggest a 350 TPI but im pretty biased..ive never really understood the CFI but i know its different and very limited.

 

I think he like's it cause you just don't see them that much anymore . but maybe there's a reason for that. your trans am looks great too

 

xfire was not one of GM's better ideas. They are just a little underpowered , but there are not many and will be a rare car some day.
If you ever do upgrade the powertrain you might want to think about keeping the currant one if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.

 

The crossfire performed much better in the vettes with their 350cu.Somewhere around 245hp (dont quote me on that).Same intake system, bigger eng.Can always do a little swap/bore the block.

 

Beautiful car you got there, and welcome to So Cal.

If you want to keep it stock, the crossfire will do just fine in normal traffic, but don't count on it being too reliable as they were known for driveability issues (some people called 'em cease-fire).

There's a website dedicated to crossfire engines and obtaining parts to keep 'em running.

But... if you're in the market for horsepower, the TPI is probably the easiest swap you can do on these cars. Out of curiosity, does your car have overdrive?

 

Thanks for the compliments, honesty this car runs great I think the problems when these cars were new was the techs lack of experience with FI, gm tbi is one of the simplest fi systems to work on and diagnos in the world.
I'm entertaining the idea ofnkeeping the xfire as I saw he renegade manifold and it looks tempting. Although I was trying to get l69 or tpi car the price was right on this one (I have story of cars I looked at in la) no offense but I wouldn't waste my time swapping in a tpi when ls' are so plentiful, my buddy has a very badass ls miata he's experienced with swaps.
When I have Internet again I'll post more pics as I'm writing this from a iPod

 

And heres more pics




I've never seen these in gold but...

I wasted no time picking up a set of GTA's
