Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Any of you guys since or purchased this kit? Really interested in it and would like to know if anyone has installed it yet. Came out this summer from what the company says and some guys on the vette forums said its doing well.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Glad I saw your post, I was just about to buy a $920 TBI package on ebay that consists of a GM ECM, throttle body and harness. I cant see spending $2500 on a Holley or Edelbrock kit when I can pick up a entire LQ9 6.0L for a bit more $. I just contacted Pace to see if that FiTech kit will work with my 700R4 trans TV cable. I'm waiting for the tech to emailme back. Looks like it has a "holley" style throttle linkage which would be perfect for me since I'm using a TVmadeEZ kit for a holley. If it will work I'm gonna give it a try. TTT

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

From what I've read, on a corvette forum, the guy had no issue with his linkages, including his kickdown cable. Try to talk to Ken supposedly he is the guy to talk to for tech questions from what I've read of course

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

nice price that is livable price

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Several guys on chevelles.com have it up and running- when I looked a couple of weeks ago everyone was very impressed with the set up.
Differently worth considering in my book

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I too am interested in this new efi. I read some about it at FI Tech.com. Last night i did a little looking at fuel injection systems through Summit. Good grief! Some of those big name units are over $5000. Not for me.
This Fi Tech system sure sounds more reasonable. I want to see some real world reports from users, problems, etc.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I wanna purchase it but I'm in the process of. Building my engine so I won't need it for a while. It would be awesome if they'd give the forum a discount since there's a few of us that can review and "promote" there products

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I'm hoping to buy this system before the price goes up. They can hardly keep them in the shelf

I've yet to read any poor reviews

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

really am contemplating on ordering one this weekend

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

:four:Order placed.Now lets see how long it takes to arrive. Pics and review to follow. I'm pretty positive the in line fuel pump they sell is just a $90 Walbro GSL392 so I will save some money and put together the fuel system myself since I already have the correct fuel filters. Hardest part of this job will be installing a return line to my tank but that shouldn't be a big deal. Now I gotta get my lazy butt outside and get the return line installed before the FI arrives.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

This is why I love this site! Lol

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

FIRST is another option you might want to look into. This is the route I went last year and I'm very pleased with the unit. I've now got over 7000 trouble free miles. I think I have about $2000 in this. What make this TPI different than the factory unit? It will support about 500hp.

You can see more photos on my build thread below.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

That Pace system looks fairly doable for most of us out here. Simple and install figured out in advance.

I will be looking into this into the future.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Well pulled the trigger and ordered one think it would be better suited for the 4x4

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I'm really interested on how the install and performance work out for you. This may be what I'm looking for, for my 69 Camaro.

:gmc2:

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I like the simplicity of this system , Keep us posted on your installation and when you get it up and running .......

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Will do duckies probably wont be until March April since It is down to bare frame right now.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Placed the order Friday and received the kit on Monday. Still waiting for my fuel system to arrive. Turns out my fuel filters won't work with EFI so I endend up buying the inline fuel pump kit from FiTech after figuring out it would only save $30 buying everything from Summit or Ebay. Hope to have everything by this weekend. After the kit arrived I did receive an email from FiTech stating the throttle linkage is a "Holley" style linkage and it will work with my Bowtie Overdrive TVmadeEZ TV cable kit.

In the meantime here are some pics of the kit.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Very cool!!!! I'll be interested to see the progress of your installation!

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Cost if I may ask? Did not see anyone post that part.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Looking forward to see how it comes out. Then if it all good I'm ordering mine lol

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I installed an MSD Atomic throttle body fuel injection kit on my Blazer a while back. No negative reviews, all positive when it first came out too, but now you can find a bunch. I suspect the same will happen with this set up once people install them and have a chance to get a few miles on them. My MSD Atomic now works as it should controlling my timing, fuel mix, and fans, but it took the installation of an in-tank fuel pump, locked out dizzy, ignition box, and two software updates from MSD to get there. I hope this kit gets it right straight out of the box.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

EFIkit was $1100 after tax & shipping.
Inline Fuel Pump kit. $290 after tax & shipping.
I could have saved $20 in shipping had I orderd them at the same time.

I'm gonna sell my near new Holley to recoup some funds and offset the cost.

Lifetime warranty on electronics. Hope there is no bugs but at least there is a warranty.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I just ordered one this afternoon for my 69 Camaro ZZ4. Shipment should be sometime next week.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Would a system like this work on an LS based engine? Say you have a carb style intake but toss this up on it and run your coils with custom wires to somewhere out of the way, back of the engine etc. That way for the casual looker when the hood is popped they think it's a carbed small block. Would this control the ignition on an LS or are you looking at two different controllers? Seen a bunch of engines set up similar and I kind of like the sneaky look.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

From what I've read, you'd need an msd or equivalent controller, for something to trigger the coils to fire. But I do agree it would look great and would be a sneaky approach lol.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

kinda what I thought, talked with the guys at FAST about a similar set up while I was at SEMA. They said the same thing, would need their module for the TB EFI set up and then another of their modules to control timing/spark, but they at least "talk" to one another and are programmable/tune able together.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I've read as much as I could find on the Fitech system, and it sure looks like a lot of bang for the buck. For what its worth, Holley is coming out with a $999 solution in the spring as well:

https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...on/sniper_efi/

Not sure how the bells and whistles stack up between the two, but it is good to see competition driving the price down to an affordable range.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

That Holley Sniper Kit looks very similar to FiTech. Holley's programmer screen display looks better. I would have preffered a trusted brand like Holley. March is just around the corner..Oh well, I'm waiting on a bulkhed fitting and I ready to go.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

So where are these things being produced? The Holley sure looks like the FIteck with a facelift for sure.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I've been watching FiTech reviews as well and reading whatever I can find about them, haven't seen a negative review yet. Their customer support gets a lot of praise. Nice to see Holley coming out with a competitively priced model, maybe MSD will follow.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I wonder if they will offer just the ecm with a harness in the future similar to the ez-efi retro-fit kits for people that already have multiport intakes. I have a mercruiser efi tunnel ram that i'm planning on installing on my truck in the future

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Completed my FiTech Go EFI 4 kit up and running and it was definatly the best $1300 I have ever spent on the truck.

I am 110% satisfied. Throttle response is outstanding, I don't think it could get any better. Truck is much faster! Feels like it went on a diet and lost 1000lbs. I have no doubt I just gained 50hp. I had a new Holley 670 Street Avenger that worked good but I don't have much experience tuning carbs. Engine fires right up on a cold day and no need to wait for the engine to warm up before driving. The touchscreen programmer is awsome. Its nice to see the AFR and accurate engine temp.

I did have to modify the FiTech throttle bracket to work with my Bowtie Overdrive TvMadeEZ kit for my 700R4 transmission. The bracket looks just like a holley but it is thicker so I trimmed it up with a dremel tool cutting wheel and bent the tab a bit more. I reduced the diameter of the protruded ring and trimmed the tab, seen in red.

Since I'm not tready to install an under bed tank I modified the fuel sender by drilling a 1/2" hole in the dimple and adding a 1/2" stainless pickup that I bent. Brazed it up with silver. Tried with silfos first but had no success, switched to products seen in picture and got it done. It was a very tight fit getting it in the tank but it worked.

Bottom line this kit ROCKS! FiTech's customer service is excellent. I will never touch a carb again.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Congratulations

How was the first fire up and learning process?

Apparently the best deal on the market just got better too next month they release another unit good up to 400 hp for only $800!!! I may just have to do it even if I put it on my old tired motor

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Glad to hear everything went well. I received a system about a week ago and will be installing it on top of a ZZ4 in my 69 Camaro. I'll report back when I have time to bolt it in.

:gmc2:

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

Since reading this today I have called Fitech twice today and done a ton of research. I am pretty sure I am going this route after christmas. Looks like a solid product, and I have tried till blue in the face to tune a dead spot out of my quickfuel 750. I am glad to see its price is within reason.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I just watched a new video on their website where they mention that new 400hp unit. I don't know if I can resist buying one now. I just got my QuickFuel dialed in and have ALMOST eliminated my stumble (shows up every once in a while), but for $1190 all in with their command center, it's getting tough to justify tuning a carb anymore. Come on tax return!!! Anybody in the market for a lightly used QuickFuel HR-680??? :)

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

From all indications, Holley's Sniper line is not products they make in house, but white labeled products from various other sources. The Sniper TBI appears to be a rebadged FiTech.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

It fired right up,pretty much instantly. I have never seen it start that quick even with a brand new carb. The learning process starts when the engine reaches 150*F. I think the instructions state it takes about 10 minutes after that to complete but will continously make adjustments to keep everything running as good as possible. I could hardly tell it was learning because it ran better from the second I fired it up. The throttle response is so much better it feels like a new truck. I could not help myself, smoked the tires every chance I got. Like I said before, I will NEVER put another carb on anything I own...unless the world is comming to a end and I have no choice.

You are gonna love it.

Re: Pace performance fitech fuel injection
 

I am really interested in this for my truck but want to know what i will need to change. My truck is completely stock minus the HEI. it is a 350/th350 setup. would i need to change anything on my transmission cable? what about the fuel tank? mine is still in the cab. what all did you need to change and how is your truck setup ?
