update.

 I did have a problem, I started the car up last sat and it fired right up and was warming up. all of a sudden it started to gurgle and blow black smoke and quit ! I was like WTF ! lol ... restarted it and it acted like the choke was on ! .. looked at the screen and the AF was reading 20 and my other AF guage was reading pig rich at 9 .. so after some reading the test of the 02 was to unplug it and the pcm will revert back to a stored map. unplugged it and the car fired right up and was running correctly. so a quick parts store run and a new 02 ($50 ) its back up and running .. No idea why it went bad but it did ... Its installed correctly ect .. oh well ..

Just thought its only fair to state the good and the bad.. so far I love the efi ,just hope the 02 was a fluke .....

Sorry I work alot in the summer ...

So I Have about 400 miles on it.. 

Works great ! I like it alot. The bad is lack of tuning information from fitech itself. If you search the internet there is alot of information.

I went from 8-9 mpg to 14mpg ! And this was on a good dyno tune setup.

I sure like that I can tweek any setting with a push of a button ! 

Tweeks I have done

 I added fuel to the prime.  (starts right off the key faster )
 I took away fuel in the warm up  (idles correctly during warm up)
added fuel on fast tip in. (Hits harder)
adjusted air/fuel at cruise speed (14.3 had a slight surge feel) set to 13.6 and its perfect.

Things I like alot

turn key instant starts ! No matter hot or cold !
idle ! smoothes out my idle and it stays the same all day long no matter if its hot or cold !
The hammer ! Its instant ! no wait! its 100% 4 barrel all open instantly !
information ! you can see whats going on ! temp,vac,batt,rpm,air fuel, ect ect ! it tells you everything !
The dual tuning , The have a standard and pro tuning. (helps the average joe to tweeks)

The Bad ?
tuning information (feeling of your on your own)
Cheapness of a couple of the adapters supplied. ( I used my own)
The feeling of wanting to mess with it ! Its to easy to use ! it runs great and you sit in the driveway and tinker !!!!!! ....

overall ! if your the average guy wanting a awsome efi for alot less than the average pricing of efi systems GO FOR IT !!!! ....

 right now I dont have the timing being controlled by the efi. I have the timing perfect as it is and would rather just get the efi right first. Maybe this spring I will switch it over once Im positive I understand the efi part.

Yep that's why I upgraded!    Afterwork I tinkered with the cold prim and hot prime.  Unreal how nice it starts now. Click-vroooom.....

I had the choke removed so first cold starts where the 5 pump and feather the gas for the first min to get it to smooth out. (no big deal) hot starts always had me worried. you never knew what you would get. sometimes it would fire right off and sometimes it would crank and not fire off so you had to open the gas a little and it would fire off. this would be a 10 second crank up .... My worry was when hot I didnt have much ooops cranking time. My batt would only start the car like that maybe 4-5 times and be done...  So you didnt want to flood it or make any mistakes starting it. Me this wasnt a big deal I new the car and how to start it. My wife wants to drive it and I always had to be with and coach her. Now I wont have that worry.

 So far the fitech seems real nice. Granted its not as Self learning hands off as I thought it might be. And or it might be and it has not learned yet.  running it runs great ! I have made only a couple of tweeks and it does run great ! ... 
 starting is my only tweek I need to make now. Hot it fires up right away if I just turn the key right to start. If I wait for the prime cycle it fires right away but rpms are slightly slower and it has to run a second to smooth out. ( I can turn down the hot prime and clear this up)
 Just did my first 100% cold start and it cranked longer than I wanted. It did fire up and idle great. Im going to add fuel to the cold prime start to get it firing up quicker.   So yea you can see there are tweeks to do. The best part is it is VERY simple to do and only takes a second ! the tuner screen is easy to read and very simple to understand. Its also nice it has data logging.

I have mine up and running ...it takes a little bit of tinkering to get them setup for bigger motors. I have about 30 miles on mine and its running pretty dang good ...


you can tell the hp is up and the throttle response is insane.. you hammer it,its right there right now ...

p.s.....The price alone of just reaching in and turning the key is amazing !... half a crank and its up and purring ..

I got the 600hp kit. I have a big solid cam and very little vac. I also plan to setup timing and use it with my n2o setup.

Imo the Megasquirt may be a way better system but the normal human has ZERO idea how to make this system work or what he needs. Ive tried to research it and just keep going in circles. Imo if they want to sell units they need to package the system more user friendly.

Wes is getting me a pretty good price on it ,I'm thinking I'm going to give it a go ...  Im going to go with the 600hp kit and the fuel pump command center.  Ive been told at 600hp the injectors are only at 85% and the kit can support 650hp. 

sucks I cant control timing with the ready to run dizzy. (so I'm told)

seems nice to be able to set air fuel target ratios for n2o.

They make a cool dual efi setup also ! ...

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a fitech efi system. I'm looking at the 30008 Meanstreet setup. Lots of reviews and 99% are great. I konw there is some crazy smart efi guy's on this site so I'm looking for some input positive or negative. The carb I have now is slightly to small (750) and only has 2 corner air fuel ajustment and My motor would do better with 4 corner.  SO insted of a carb,Im thinking EFI ....

I took it all apart and tested the pickup ect , I also checked all the joints ect and I found nothing bad.  I was shocked to see so much oxidation ect inside the housing for never seeing water,snow ,winter and only having 3,000 miles on it...

Im going to just order a new one... It sucks but I dont like being broke down
