    its an interesting topic and worth starting its own thread. Because Fitech is so new maybe people with other tbi systems could share their experiences. Also getting a range of vehicle use would be great too. What works for someone who just drag races their car would be different to somebody using tbi as a carb replacement on a daily driver.

    The single/dual plane argument is for carbs. It apparently doesn't apply to FI because of the adjustments the computer can make.

    I'm no expert, but given the fuel is entering the intake in the same place as a carb, I think the dual plane/ single plane argument is valid. Yes the computer has better control, but at low revs your fuel/air mix is going through the intake same as a carbed system with all the poor atomisation issues etc if your engine doesn't need a single plane. A tbi system will probably mask the problem to some degree but it will still be there. A multipoint system where the injectors are at the port you only have air running through the manifold so you don't have issues with poor atomisation at low air speeds. Just my 2c.

    I have about 2000 miles on mine allowing the system to do the tuning and self learning.  It has been completely trouble free.  I doubt that I will ever run a carb again.

     

    IMHO the "set and forget" self tuning programming in the FiTech is very well done. 

    Good to know! I have the dilemma of running my coupes current 302 with a carb that needs a rebuild at minimum, then having to buy another carb when my 351C ready to fit. The Fitech unit will take care of both engines. Probably be cheaper too!

    They didn't mention taxes so I assume that's just freight. It seems the manufacturers always charge more for freight than summit/jegs etc. when I got the AAW harness and the Dakota digital gauges freight through summit was $70-80 cheaper than buying direct- even though it shipped from the manufacturer!

    I contacted speed master and they are only stocking the go-efi 600hp version. $2000AU and $50freight from Sydney. Buying through summit and getting your sister to ship it looks to be $300-400 cheaper

    Not good. They have a Facebook page I might try through Facebook and regular email. I looked at summit for their shipping price to Aus, $79.95US through DHL express and you sort out the import taxes. If you're lucky it might just slip through. I've had that happen before. Through I-parcel it was $220US and they pay the import taxes for you through a broker. That should give you a rough estimate on freight.

    I just spoke to Summit and they weren't interested in doing a group purchase discount. It was worth a try anyway. I've always had good experiences with my purchases from them.

    Did you guys know that Holley is going to sell a comparable TBI called the Sniper.

     

    Also, FiTech wil be making 2 new models.. IIRC, one is a 400 hp version sold on the same platform.

     

    NOT MY ATTACHMENTS BELOW

    Is there any more info available on the 400hp version? My 351c is more of a cruiser than a racer and the 400hp version may better suit my engine.

    I just found out Summit are selling Fitech systems. Just a thought but would it be worth speaking to them about a group purchase discount? I'm thinking it may be a backup plan if it becomes too much hassle for Bob to set up.

    Bob, we all appreciate your efforts in trying to set this deal up but no one wants to see you out of pocket or caught up in tax or legal issues trying to help us out.
