Re: FITECH EFI 600 Basic and Command center intall with pics, factory tank

After all the rave reviews I took the plunge and replaced my FAST EZ EFI with the FITECH unit. The FAST unit just never quite ran the way I thought it should. The FITECH system fired up on the first turn and idles great right out the box (something the FAST unit never did for me, always idled too high). There is tons of salt on the road here in MN so I'm excited to give it a full test when it gets warmer. Here is a quick pic I took before I clean up the wiring.

That's very nice to know.
I was very close to getting the edelbrock E-Street, but the price of the competition is easily $1000. more.

Re: FITECH EFI 600 Basic and Command center intall with pics, factory tank

Hello everyone, I'm new here, and have been following all of the FITech installs I can, it sure seems pretty awesome. We are awaiting our Fitech #30012 Go EFI 8 1200 Power Adder Plus system from Jegs for our 1986 Trans Am with a 383/AFR 195 heads and a "Blow Thru" D1SC Procharger 12 lb boost. Should make around 650 hp at the flywheel.

I read where some are having trouble assembling the pushlock hose ends, (they are very tuff, I've installed them on past projects), I wanted to share a link to a tool that we bought that makes installing them a breeze, no matter what size. No more boiling/freezing ect.... it's pricey, so it may not be worth it to some ,but we have a few projects in our family that we use pushlock on, so its worth it to us. It works flawless... It's made by Koul Tools, it's a hose press designed especially for the puchloc hose and fittings.... here is the link... Thanks for having me here, and ENJOY!

Diceman , bonus points for ingenuity.
Great tool. I like the throw adjustment.
That screw drive Koul is certainly slick, and if you've got
$250 burning a hole in your pocket... worth it.
Probably out of most budgets for a single install.

Here you go Ben. I used dish soap on this one. Can't say it worked any better than the others, but it did work at least as well. Research continues.

I used a heat gun and silicone spray. Wasn't easy but worked.
