Build/buy a carbed 350+ci motor if you're looking for power, itll be a lot less hassle. Im dropping my 89 L98 (5.7 TPI) for a carb'd 406sbc...
TPI is more trouble than its worth...

Sorry you couldnt hack it with TPI, but there are plenty of us who can and make great power with them. Fuel injection is much better for a street car.

It doesn't matter that an '84 Vette had Crossfire. The engine will work fine under your TPI. There's nothing special about a TPI engine, or anything wrong with the Crossfire engine. No motor mount issues, no wiring harness issues (you'll be using your existing TPI harness). You might have to change the oil pan & pump pick-up - big deal.

get a set of 24lb injectors and it should run fine.
