Buccaneer Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks, I'll have to check it out. Here's a good one...I went out with the car tonight and went to the Friday cruise-in car show down the street in Gilbert on Warner. Low and behold there was a nice 84 crossfire there and I talked to the owner of the last nine years of the car. Nice guy, but didn't know much about a CFI car. Now here's the kicker, I was telling him a bit about my car since he heard me come in and wanted to know why my car was idling so odd. Anyway, he asked if I knew how to make more HP...Mmmm, no how? disconnect the computer for a while and reconnect it. HUH? I asked how does that make more HP? His reply was it resets the computer. WOW! What a good tip for a crossfire. I guess I need to do that more often, no telling how much more HP I will gain over time. LMAO... Well, I guess he ment well, he just doesn't know a thing about crossfires or computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayeagle Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 hmm .. crossfire horsepower .. Somethin I seem to remember about replacin the stock intake manifold because it was so restricted .. nowadays Lingenfelter and some others make very nice intakes that 'wake-up' the crossfire motors jest fine.. or so I hear.-Frank an Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccaneer Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 LOL...I'm not going to bother changing my manifold, I now have the secret for more HP for my CFI, I've unplugged my ECM 20 times last night, so I should be up to 350HP by now or more. :D What a neat idea and a cheap way to make HP. Maybe you C5 guys should try it.I didn't know you lived that close, Phil is just down the street as well. When are you Evil C5 guys going to go over there? If you've gone a fair amount to that show you may have seen my neighbor there, he is the guy with the pristine red with white strips 66 350GT Stang that goes there a lot because its close.

Buccaneer Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Well I did a Google search to find out where fulton town center was and it looks like its about 7 mles away, so I guess I may go there on the 4th when it starts. cross streets are Ocotillo and Arizona Ave.Frank, I'm running the X-Ram manifold and have the latest version top plates V4 and it runs well. However, that manifold on a bone stock crossfire is not a good choice and will actually run worse/slower on the bottom end. It does make a big difference on the bigger cube motors like mine though vs a stock manifold. :D The X-Ram manifold is just a Weiand Excelerator manifold modified with custom top plates.Pat at X-Ram trys to get top dollar on everyting he sells and a lot of CFI guys have shunned him for it, oh well, thats busness I guess, at least for some.BTW: Is anyone out there running the ARP Perma-Locs? If so, chime in please with your thoughts or experience with them. My poly locks have come loose again and I'm getting tired of it and looks like I'm going to the ARP locks.
