For those trying to make up your mind about EFI
I knew nothing about fuel injection other than it was a "computerized carburetor". After running my Barracuda with what I thought was finely tuned carburetor and taking my first drive (once I had my FiTech system running) there's no comparison. From the moment I pulled out of my driveway I noticed the nice smooth acceleration, not even a minute hesitation. Throttle response was instant. Starting the engine is a pleasure, no more pedal pumping or even waiting to warm up. Get in and go. I'm not sure what the problems were with the fuel command center for many but I went with a Tanks Inc EFI tank and pump. Maybe this circumvented issues for me.
Here's my 2 cents about the FiTech system:
1) Be skeptical but search for the real answers (facts).
2) Expectations - be realistic with them. What are you installing it on? How old is your fuel tank / lines / components?
3) Make sure you follow the installation instructions completely, especially the wiring connections.
4) Go into this prepared to learn about EFI. Sure it's self-learning but it isn't fool-proof. Nothing is. If you're expectation is to install it, fire it up, and live happily ever after then buy a new Toyota.
5) If you want a smoother running engine, great acceleration, and tire smoking throttle response for your muscle car then buy one but take the time to learn about this system. You'll be glad you did. I am.
6) Trying to tune my big Holley on my 426w Duster was a big PITA. Drain the float bowls, disconnect, take apart, change jets, put back together, go for a ride. Repeat god knows how many times. I just ordered another FiTech for this car. I don't know about you but I'd rather punch a few buttons and change parameters from the drivers seat than get all dirty and smelly from gas under the hood.
I'm sure other systems are just as good, competition is a good thing for the consumer. This stuff will only get better...
