thats crossfire injection. two smaller throttle bodies compared to the ones we use. the motor only made like 210 horsepower or something like that.

nothing big, but chevy's first step to use "mainstream" fuel injection on cars.

One of my friends on camaroz28.com's dad has one. He said its all in the tuning. The engine has a lot of upside performance wise, you just kinda gotta work at it.

My friend has the crossfire in his 84 vette. It's a cool looking setup but the intake is pretty restrictive. It has potential just like any other TBI system though.

It uses two 1.8 just like your's
Can be punched out to use 2.0s.
Took a bunch of work but had my crossfire running mid 13s.

For those interested in Crossfire injections, listed below are a couple links to the Crossfire Vault. The second link is the one I like best but it has been having problems lately.
