Any experience with FiTech throttle body injection? (Pace Performance)

[dakota]

I'm curious if anybody has any experience with the TBI system in the link below.   Apparently this is relatively new to the market (2015?).   The price is attractive compared to some of the other systems available... roughly half the cost.

I was all set to stay about from one of the throttle body units because of the prices, but this one is tempting me to reconsider.

Seems to be a self contained Throttle body system so you have a wet intake ,, Efi started out this way on production vehicles too but everything is dry intake with the injector behind the intake valve so it will not be as efficient

here is another site showing the product, I am curious too if anyone has used it, and how well this system works

Is Fast EZ the same thing?

The market is getting rich with these TB injection set ups. That can only be a good thing IMO. Not sure about this one but seems to work much like the MSD, Edelbrock, holley, Fast, and others. If you are in the market for something like this I'd be asking which one is best for my application? Price? ease of set up? expand ability? reliability?

Well I finally pulled the trigger on ordering one of the FiTech 400 HP units.   I went ahead now because there was a $75 rebate available.  Based on the cost of getting an A/F meter for tuning a carb, it wasn't that big of leap to buy it.   The other established TBI sets were just too expensive for what I'm doing.   I'll post observations once I get the car running.

I bought a Fitech Go EFI 8 kit a couple months back. Car is getting put back together, but still a long way to go before I can start it. Its going to sit on top of a mild 440 stroker (496 ci). Too many horror stories with FAST and the Holley kits. Spoke with Ken a few times on the phone and read a lot of good reviews from forum boards for all makes and models and I dont think I found a single negative review. Is it going to give me the best performance out of all the EFI kits out there? Probably not, but the features for the price seemed like a great trade.

did you get one with the inline pump or with the sump tank ? Looks like a very simple system to install , no need to modify the tank or pik up , ECU is contained in the throttle body & uses a hand held tuner , wireless maybe ?

I've only ordered the throttle body unit so far.   There wasn't any $ incentive to buy the package with the throttle body and the sump system vs. buying them separately, so I just bought the throttle body to get the rebate.   Once I get the engine installed, I'll take a look at the space for the sump.  Removing the washer fluid tank is an option to create space, but I don't really want to do that.   I've seen your past recommendation about the Mallory electric pump as a feed option.  I have a new gas tank to install still so putting in a submerged pump is another possibility.   Lots to think about, but buying the FiTech unit at least narrows down what I have to consider.

Well you need a 55 psi pump for the EFI , I would use a pump at the rear & have 55 psi all the way forward  the sump could be mounted in the truck in a corner or just use a in tank or inline pump at the tank , Walbro has high flow inline pumps

[WildJones]

Personally I went with a Tanks Inc Efi tank and the walbro pump that flows the most on their site - GPA-6/walbro 400 Liter pump. I needed a new tank anyways and wanted a setup with baffles even before I decided to get an efi kit.

I'm so close to picking up this unit as well.  I think I decided this is the way to go compared to the others on the market.  since the unit comes with a rebate until the end of may, it makes it even more attractive.  I will get the sump fuel system.  it's cheaper than the Edlebrock sump and has 2 separate fuel pressure gauges already installed.  I was looking at t he location of the charcoal canister but I think the windshield washer bottle would need to move or be removed too.  the charcoal canister already has the fuel vent to the tank in place.  moving the washer bottle will depend on hood clearance.  I just need to grow a pair and pull the trigger I planned the install and asked all the questions here on this board and also their Tech line. I think it should be a pretty easy install.

John - i  definitely understand the hesitation about placing the order - been there, sweated that.  Please post pics as you move forward with the installation of the sump.  Good luck!
