Porting the intake, I've read, is the cheapest and best way to squeeze more out of it...the ports are way too small, have a lot of flash and gas pools in the valleys wasting precious fuel.


Remember, there's no place like ~ ;)

You'll have to reprogram your computer and I can't help yopu with that.
Fastest and cheapest way to gain HP.

i have thought about that.   however nos will it burn up my pistons? blow out head gaskets. i realy don't know. i have heard of pepole putting it on.  is there a dry and wet system? wich one would be best to use in a stock motor?  i don't mean to be a wimp i just don't know about it.  please anyone running nos dry or wet system on there stock motor advise.

Porting the CFI intake to match the head ports will help..seeing the difference in the size of the intake port and the head port will have you scratching your head.
Second mod... 1.6 rocker arms will increase valve lift somewhat without replacing the cam and will compliment the intake porting. The stock l83 cam is pretty mild so I don't think you'll have any "coil bind" issues using the stock valve springs. If I was you i'd contact Comp Cams they should be able to tell you exactly what you need to use.
Third "mod"would be to have a tuner reprogram your existing ECM "chip" OR burn a you a new "chip".....I'm unsure who to suggest you contact for this...I've used a online company called "Pcmforless" before but I don't know what they offer for the L83.
I don't know what the'84 has for rear gears...but a upgrade there will put a Big smile on your face. JMO
