FiTech EFI system
Well I'm a little concerned and/or confused on this matter I'm really good and understand several things in this hobby but tuning isn't one of them I get by and that's pretty much my limit been considering the EFI for sometime and I'm getting close I've asked before about the Go Street and you stated better to go with the Go EFI - 4 due to the timing control and Mopar electronics problems which I've never had any real problems with so why not the Go Street for me also are you selling many or them -- Thanks
Multiple questions here, and multiple considerations to be made. I will just go through my list...
1. The 400hp units have yet to land. So...I only have an estimated ship date, and they cant do timing.
2. The 600hp can do timing. Mega advantage.
3. .chrysler oe ignition is garbage, in its entirety, from ballast resister to ignition box.
4. The fitech needs a good rpm signal to work. As does any efi system. So...even in fuel only mode, if fighting a weak oe box, distributor, etc, the fitech can only work as good as the system its pulling a tach signal from.
5. Onto timing control....in theory, should a locked oe distributor work? yep. Does reusing a ten year old mag pickup, with a non phasable distributor rotor, cause issues for a shade tree mechanic? Yes, regularly.
Im working on attaining some less expensive billet style distributors to go with these units. At the end of the day, these are meant to be the quick, easy road to efi. And they are. However, using old, jumpy tach ignition components with them, can cause issues.
Do you build a brand new engine, but use an old carb from a farm truck and expect it to run great....? See my point?
If someone wants to use the 400 or 800 unit with no timing control, thats fine. Im completely good with a cdi box or a "ready to run" style distributor. Being used in its place. Just know the 400 unit paired with a 40 year old box and distributor...may not be a simple plug and play.
Hope all that makes sense, and I dont mean to be gruff. I will gladly elaborate over the phone if you want to give me a ring at my desk tomorrow.
