Due to federal regulations, HP continued to be low for all production cars. The Vette made up for the low HP with an impressive 283 lb of torque.
The 82 featured the Cross-Fire Injection" TB system.
The 1982 Corvette engine bay did offer a glimpse into the future. A new fuel delivery system called "Cross-Fire Injection" made it's debut. Sometimes called "Throttle Body Injection", it can be thought of as a combination of a carburetor and fuel injection. The new system enabled the engine to be rated at 200 hp and still satisfied the increasingly stringent anti-smog regulations. A new electrical fuel pump integral to the gas tank was part of the system. My 1982 Corvette
