There is a guy selling a cfi set up just wondering what ur thoughts are should i go for it or not its out of an 82 i have an 85 with an edelbrock carb 5 speed

 

U mean the crossfire thing ? Umm i dont know cuz i dont own one but some ppl say it sucks.

 

Yea its the cross fire injection only available in 82 and 83 and as an option. Any other thoughts u guys?

 

Keep what you have.

If the CFI stuff is in good shape i'd pick it up and sell it to people on here.

 

Yea its in working order and complete with harness and computer but y do you think I should keep the carb

 

CFI can work very well and support lots of power and
torque with very good reliability-just takes some mods
(especially to the intake manifold) to increase airflow
and fueling capacity in order to acheive a major HP
increase
Modified '84 vette CFI 350 in my z28,mods did the
trick-way more power than stock vette

 

As far as intake manifold goes has anyone ever tried the CFI system on a dual carb intake with 2 adapter plates...maybe something like this edelbrok manifold?

 

That's been done years and years ago, back then by a guy called PokeyL on the CFI forum. He reported it ran good w that.

 

Would need custom linkage and tubing and consideration to IAC(one or two). Check out posts by simpson36. He fabbed up custom linkage. I think was dual ...2 barrel....tbi's.

 

In 1994 "turbo city"offered a TBI setup using a pair of
2 barrel TBIs on a 2x4 style manifold,a 7747 ECM was
used along with a small cap HEI

 

I had CFI for three long years, and I think you should buy and run it.

I wouldn't do it, but you definitely should.

 

i would, dont really have a reason other then when most people ask if its a carb,tpi,or tbi your just say nope and i bet they will have a confused look on there face, then they will start asking if its hsr,superam,etc. lol.
