Re: Bolt on efi?
I have been watching a friend at the local Hot Rod Shop, in my area. He has a couple of the EZ-EFI setups from the FAST people mounted in a couple cars. One is a 61 Ford Stationwagon with a built up 390 engine and the other is a Duece Coupe with a 383 stroker engine. The learning curve on these direct bolt on setups, is that many require a "Clean" ignition spark from a good system like MSD. Otherwise the computer in the fuel injection is confused and does not produce well.
For the most part the fuel mileage gains was not that significant on his vehicles, but the overall power curve was enhanced greatly. I have a stroked 385 cubic inch engine in my 84 GMC truck, that I would like to gain some mileage on, as well as a larger performance area that a carb just does not offer. However, even with the lower cost that I could purchase the system from him at, the return may not outweigh the cost of getting the fuel pump and lines setup properly.
