Pace performance fitech fuel injection

[jomatt20]

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.

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

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

nice price that is livable price

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

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.

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

[Nitis]

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

[enigma]

really am contemplating on ordering one this weekend

[Big Kev-O]

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.

This is why I love this site! Lol

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.

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.

[enigma]

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

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.

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.

[biketopia]

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

[Nitis]

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

[68Timber]

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.

[dirtyjim]

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

[Big Kev-O]

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.

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
