Fuel Injection
« on: December 29, 2016 - 12:57:44 PM »
I have a stock 73 318 challenger. I'm trying to decide on converting to a 4 barrel carb or going to fuel injections. If I get fuel injection, what intake manifold would be the best match? Any advice. Thanks

save yourself some hassle and get FI Tech; simple, self contained and works; also one of the cheaper systems. You can use any 4BBL intake as the injectors are in the throttle body. This will be fine especially given you are not trying to built a high HP car, but the FI Tech will work with whatever you put into it assuming you change engines.

Past Mopars
9 x Challengers. AAR Cuda, 4 RR, 2 GTX, 4 Chargers, etc... (too many to list)

I think Holley has just released a competitor to FiTech as well now, same principle same type of price range.

I'll support the little guy thanks....   FiTech has great reviews both about their product & about their tech support....  Holley burned lots of us in the past with their EFI systems I won't give them a second chance & I hope no one else does either....

Oh, no argument here Wild R/T, was just putting out there in case someone is still in love with Holley. I think for the basic engine setup the FiTech is the go and there are plenty of others out there with them so if your to run into issues there is plenty of help, even from the manufacturer so thumbs up for FiTech.

My thing is back in the 90's I spent close to 4x the cost of the FiTech system to get the top dog Holley EFI system after reading four different magazine articles about how great & how trouble free the new EFI from Holley was....

What did I learn?

Magazines have no integrity, truth means nothing advertising $$$ sways the truth

Holley makes more selling cheap crap then actually supporting people who foolishly trust magazine articles...

Anyway at this point FiTech has gotten more customers through word of mouth as spread by the internet then they have through advertising.... And still they get rave reviews.... I trust other enthusiasts who are spending their hard earn $$$ on parts allot more than I do magazines who live & die by advertising $$$$...


Buy FiTech :2cents:

You are not the only one :) That was a horrible system.

I also agree on magazine articles.   Nothing but advertising.
