fast or atomic efi ?
Well my FAST has worked out so far. Im chasing a fuel leak on the tank pickup right now but that has nothing to do with the FAST system. Im waiting for a new tank to arrive. I have a pretty clean install. The airgap intake allows me to run the wiring under the intake and back up to each sensor. I mounted the ECU right behind the brake pedal so I can still see the light when active or if trouble codes ever pop. I have done the intial startup and tooken it around the block to fill it up, then the leak showed up so back home I went to fix that. But the locking ring on my 40 years old tank is not the best so I just went ahead and dropped coin for a new on ebay.
I was worried reading about all the other users having problems with the FAST system. But it always seemed to stem around user install problems. I followed the instruction to a T. I soldered all my connections, and paid close attention to how I ran all the wiring to avoid electrical interference. The intial start up had me freaking because it was very rough and I had to hold the thottle to keep it running. I just told myself to give it time to warm up. As soon as it reach temp 180* and the learning software kicked in it settled out real fast. After that it was idling better in five minutes than it had for 10 years. Throttle response is off the charts. The trip to the gas station everything seem to be tracking fine. I still need to put a few hundred miles on it to nail down the tune but at this point Im still very happy and have high hopes for it.
I used FAST fuel pump kit. I have it mounted right behind the gas tank and I dont recall hearing it at all over the exhaust.
Yes the FAST system uses all factory GM sensors, so if one goes bad you can pick it up at your local autoparts store, but Im sure that wont be fun either because they are all retards and they will need to know what car its for and if it an auto or if it has A/C. LMAO.
I went FAST mainly becasue the MSD was brand new at the time, nobody was running it that I could find and it is a returnless system which I don't car for. It was alittle more work to get a return line hooked to the car but thats just what I prefer.
Dislikes: When I was looking for a system, FAST told me they had future plans for updates to the software to allow the use of a poweradder. All it really needs is a MAP sensor capable of reading the boost and or the ability to shut off the learning software after the tune has had time to be astablished. But instead of updates 6 months later they anounce the release of the 2.0 version. Which just pissed me off. Because they did this only after my box had arrived and was sitting in the garage waiting for install for about a few months. I would have simply held off and bought the new one if they would have mentioned it was coming. The newer version looks nice if thats what you like. There arent to many updates to it to justify the new release. It supports more horsepower but so does the one I have if you needed it by using a additional thottlebody. The 2.0 one has a huge touch screen now, but I dont need that. once my tune in settled out, my hand held will find a home in the glovebox. It doesnt even need to be hooked up. For updates that is about it. I still does not work with a poweradder. Why would they not make that change for the updated system? I dont know.
