Looking at buying one of these new EFI Complete kits for my BBC.

Anyone use or install these. Seem like some nice Packages. I am leaning towards the FiTech a little over the Holley

Here is the Holley Kit:

Here is the FiTECH Kit:

Both would require this this Command Center Kit to not run a return line, plumb my new stainless tank, new electric fuel pump, etc...
(Nice bundle to use my existing -8an fuel line and Holley HP series Mechanical Fuel Pump)

Anyone install one of these kits? Thoughts...

LOL... Maybe, but this new combo made nice power!

Decided to keep my 67 with old school grunt. My new setup outgrew my old Quick Fuel Carb so instead of splurging on a new Carb, for a little more i can have the modern efi ontop of the old school pump.
 
I got fitech on camaro. It's BADASS

DO NOT USE THAT DISASTER FUEL COMMAND KIT!!!!you will have nothing but problems.

I got $1500 in my set up

$900 for fitech, find a 10% off Summit code
$400 ish in a new efi tank fuel pick up and 255 pump from NPD.
$100 misc crap hose etc

Used -8 to feed
Stock BBC 3/8 steel return line

The system is ultra simple

Lots of tips.
 
Anthony,

Thank you for the input. I tried reading through that thread... it's huge. I did not find anything regarding the Command Center. What issues are they having with those. Looks like a decent solution to avoid return lines, new in tank or external fuel pump, etc...
 
Burning pumps up and vapor lock.

Fuel boiling in it

In theory it's a great "idea" but fails horribly. The guy I know that tried one FINALLY got fitech to refund after shipping it back a few times and multiple units.

Ran a return line and intank pump... zero issues
 
Also

The fitech and 5speed conversion is the best money I've ever spent on a muscle car. It's not the same car anymore

Haven't started it in a few months. Last weekend, reached in and hit the key, fired right up and idled perfect, pulled it out and went on a short ride for the hell of it
 
For those who have something like this, can you break in a motor using it? I don't have a whole lot of faith in the carb that I rebuilt and never ran :lol:
 
Adding a return line to your tank isn't a big deal. Take it to a radiator shop & have it cleaned. I'll weld the bung in for you. Or you can sump it & use the factory pickup for the return. That's what I did on my Coronet. I ran a Bosch 044 pump, cake to install. Never had any issues with anything. Fuck that command center.

Breaking in a flat tappet cam? Or seating rings on a new engine? You gotta drive (load) it to seat the rings. It's self learning, I don't see why not. I'd use a wideband too though just to make sure it's in the ballpark.

Don't forget new Elecitric fuel pump (currently running that Holley HP mechanical)
 
Have almost 200 miles on this new FiTech. Other than initial set up I have not tweaked any of the settings and is running very very good.

Anyone else running FiTech on here? (No more carbs)45858.jpeg
