Turbo City upgrade

I have an 83 camaro with crossfire injection and I am planning on rebuilding the motor. I know the injection system needs to be rebuilt, but I haven't decided what to do with it. I want to keep the crossfire injection. Has anyone had anything done by Turbo city? I am thinking of having them upgrade the unit to a hi-flow for $229. Is this worth it? Does anyone have any suggestions?

from what ive seen here. turbo city does great work, but has somewhat bad customer service. most of the upgrading you could have done at a machinist for cheaper. add your own larger injectors. etc... do some research of what they actually do, then check out locally if anyone can do the same for less.

It was my experiences with them that lead to programming 101, and my quest to have folks do their own chips so as not to be ripped off by folks like turbo City.
I paid $300 for a chip, and they had the tranny wrong, the agreement was 2 reburns free, and charged me a free reburn cause of their error.
Was just a case of out and out theift. I've never spent another nickel with them.
All they have is customer misinformation in most matters anyway.
You can buy the 2" butterflies for like $20 and get the TBs machined for like $30-60.
You'll have to hunt some, but for $150 well worth not dealing with them.

They don't have all the answers, but a lot of people all focused on moding Xfires
