Hi...
For those of you running the FiTEch Injection, I have a couple questions...
How do you like it?
How long have you had it?
How long did it take to "learn"?
Is the least expensive Go Street EFI- 400 HP System the recommended unit? OR is the Go EFI 4- 600 HP System better for our coaches because of the timing control?
Would you do it again?
Thanks,
Steve

I like it,I got the 600hp because of the edlebrock top end I have. As I was told don't expect better milage unless you were running super rich before. Mine learned itself in in a matter of a few minutes, the biggest problem I've ran into is the throttle linkage is super stiff with the springs from the factory they are right on the throttle shafts. I went on some camaro forums and did what they suggested make sure and use the outermost hole and release the spring on what I would call the secondaries but they really aren't because all 4 open at the same time, then put you original springs or some fron the "help" aisle at the auto parts store, you don't notice them like you do the second spring fron the factory. My linkage wasn't exactly stock so you might not have any issues. In the outermost linkage hole you can't get full throttle plate opening but I don't think it would ever be needed, at least for me it isn't. I'm using the fuel command center and put it in the front of the right side of the radiator like another member of the forum suggested, It was Gerald Work he did a whole presentation on the install. You probably can search the forum or ask him directly for a copy of it. I can't seem to find it right now. Haven't got to try it out in real vapor lock scenarios but it isn't suppose to do it at all, and all the great cold starting the no hesitation acceleration and general overall clean burning I've got now it is well worth it. Climb some small mountains in Georgia with a toad running only on 7 cylinders didn't even realize it till I got back home and did some checking. Just my observations and ideals, most of the ideals are by others but pride went out the window a few years ago, remember "if there is a better ideal out there don't be to proud to use it, but be sure and give credit where credit id due"

I've had the FiTech 600hp for about a year. It learned quickly and has been trouble free. I had a mechanic install mine and he has been so impressed, he ordered the high performance FiTech for a hot rod Nova he is building. Actually he applied to be a distributor for FiTech in our area, but was told there was already some one here. I believe that is pretty strong testimonial to the quality of this system.
