Vette(s): 1982 corvette crossfire production numer C5101985. Color is silver and claret. All original numbers match. slight mods to crossfire for better efficiancy and power balanced and added fuel pressure assembly between throttle bodies,
was a nice drive down (800 miles) from Twin Falls Idaho to Phoenix. only had one issue which was odd and I will be posting a topic concerning it.

other than the one issue- O2 sensor tripped the engine light a few times- yes i pulled the codes
averaged 21 miles per gallon with cruise set at 68-69, passing trucks above 85, going up small summits, its less than what i got before i adjusted the fuel pressure to 12 psi from 9 psi but a little fuel mileage loss is ok considering the car runs properly. and 21 mpg for a 33 year old Vette with a V8 is pretty decent in my book
