Cross--Fire ???

What is the biggest cubic inch motor I could put under a Cross--Fire Set up? I have bored out the TBI's and ported the Manifold? Where can I get a chip burned for the bigger motor?

Also do they make an aftermarket intake? And I was thinking of swapping in a T10 four speed---has anyone done this???

I know it's a LOT of questions, but I want to get this rolling before Summer ends.....

TBI's are 1.5 mill. bigger with stock injectors. Fuel pressure is currently set at 15 psi

Read the sig :)

Hey there. It's all in my signature, but again, the ECM, and the PROM chip were stock and original. All the tuning I did to make it run well included changing injector sizes, fuel pressure, and utilizing a vacuum refferenced fuel pressure regulator, similar to those found on MPFI engines. I ended up with 75pph injectors, with a fuel pressure of 14.5 at WOT and ~10 PSI at idle (15" of vacuum @7000' elevation).

The cam was 224/234* int and exh. I don't remember the lifts, but the LSA was 114*

It would get me 25 mpg on the highway, and the check engine light never came on. I didn't ever check the emissions, because you don't have to where I lived in Maine, and now in Utah.

Thanks> All these questions were for a friend and he is really excited that this will actually work. It all sounds relatively easy. Coincidentally he is also a snowmobile freak and take at least 2 trips a year to Wyoming. Nice sled, he is also a Polaris nut
