I know you'll suggest FAST. I wish you were in the Indy area! I'd definitely have you tune the car.
I may go with FAST just because the tuner I trust is familiar with it.

You have heard of the interweb, correct....Tuning can be done live over it...

We'd like to see the dyno #'s also. And I know Mike(tuner) can get it driveable throughout all RPMs much quicker than I. If it were my car, I could spend time tweaking. Besides it is safer to tune while driving on a dyno than on the road.

Go this route. The fast system is like the small block chevy of ecus... you can get support anywhere.

LOL... not sure if that was a complement at FAST or a backhanded slap.

I have only experience with an EZ Efi and I wont get into the issues I had with FAST overall but what I will say is their stuff is not worth the price hike it has over a Megasquirt. I can get a plug and play MS3 for a little over 1/2 of what an XFI setup for a Gen III is and its all in one box to boot. Im gonna be my own tuner and learn how to do it so I can install the stuff on other cars as well. There is also a thread on another site about what a POS the EZ 2.0 is too.

For the record - you cannot use the either EZ system on a boosted engine. This thread would be an XFI Sportsman or a full XFI application.

We had a problem with a 426 crate HEMI shutting off while driving down the road. It has a FAST EZ dual TB setup on it. The distributor wire has to be very well isolated from interference and the power wire must go to the battery itself and not to the stud on the starter relay. The dyno tuner wasn't fond of the lack of tunability with the EZ.
