Here's some trivia. GM wanted to call the Crossfire Injection system, "CrossRam". But there were some infringement issues with Mopar and the word "Ram".

Will have to see what Fords doing in 09/10 (there are alot of diehards there too), I know I'm interested if they can get that 400hp 5.0 in there and if the car looks good - kinda scared though, rumors are circulating that they've got a flava-flav sized Mustang in the grille

The invite is there for the taking to go to Indy and get your own "desciple" experience. If you miss out, you miss a very big deal.
The fact the desciple program is even known about is unusual. The fact they can talk about it at all is not to be expected. Don't ask them to tarnish their integrity. It's a part of why they were chosen, no doubt.

When I finally take delivery of my Camaro that will be a great experience as well but thats still a year or more out. Hopefully the good things will come because i have no choice but to wait.

Can anybody give an estimate of size compared to the Traverse, Camaro or the Vette?

Crossfire eh Charlie? Dont get caught in the...CROSSFIRE!!
I dunno what to drive out to Indy. The 72 is not nearly ready to go, and the Caprice's gas milage leaves something to be desired.
Maybe I need to find another 305 TPI car....

I'll get some posted. In the meantime, it looks just like BigDark&Fast's car in this thread:

Actually, I think the 2.93 gear will pretty nice for the trip to Indy. But I do see a Catco high flow cat and Flowmaster 3" exhaust in it's future.

BTW, more trivia: The CFI's inlet manifold is the same thing as the 302 Z/28's for the dual carb setup. It was just adapted to accept the TBI.

Runner lengths, orientation, and volume are no where near identical. Plenum volume on the crossram is much greater and the upper plate bolt pattern is different also the thermostat location on a true crossram is on the front of the manifold, not on the top.
