Yeah so what about your dad's candy *** friend, what about the Z28? Is it a Cross fire? And why do you have a picture of Jake from "Two and a half Men"?

No, im Garret from Ohio.
According to thirdgen.org, it had 175hp and 250 ft lbs of torque. Not like I care, its coming out anyways, lol.
Btw, brassknukl, if you want that DIS setup, send me an email with an offer. Im really not sure what its worth...

You are Jake from Two and a Half Men???
Well Jake you are too generous. The CFI only had 165 ponies. Never had one but driven a few Corvettes and a Camaro with that system and it may have been a good thing that it was swapped to a carb as I have heard many times they had their problems.

It was orignally the 175 hp LU5 with the crossfire injection, but someone swapped it over to carb, which is great for me.
Btw, I am gonna have lots of parts to sell from my 88 parts car, and I also have a crossfire injection air cleaner setup, edelbrock 500 cfm carb, holley 650 double pumper, a DIS (distributorless ignition system) for a SBC I will have for sale if anyone is interested. Anything anyone needs, shoot me a line to mopar_4__life@hotmail.com
(Btw, dont rag on the mopar, im still a mopar guy at heart, lol)
Oh one more thing, that would be me in the pictures.

According to every piece of print material I have from service manuals to books and magazine articles from Road & Track, Car and Driver, Motor Trend.... They all say 165hp and 240 tq. Where third gen gets their info I do not know. I get mine from print and not from one mistake that was found on the web and spread around.
But I have to ask.... Are you and Jake related? Have you ever seen the show? I like that kid. His interactions with Jon and Charlie are funny!
Oh and are you going to keep the flaps on the hood functional? That is why I asked if it was CFI. They looked as if they were the flappers that opened. Plus it should be a fiberglass hood.

Yeah I see a lot of people quote thirdgen. But thirdgen is not the law or the best place to look. I have also seen a lot of misguided info from there.

Uh oh! I have to take back waht I said. I had stuck in my head 82 when in fact 83 had a bump in power.....My bad! I hope no one saw that 
Does your hood not have the solenoid to open the flaps? You could hook a micro switch to the throttle like ones that are used for nitros of 400 kick down to work the flaps. If it does not have it then maybe a power lock solenoid but those might be kinda strong.
