You can never convince a pessimist !!! LOL, in my job, pessimism is realism. I will watch with interest to see what the long term issues are with these. I hope there are none as they are quite affordable. Craig

Can you spot the computer in this pic?
They've been there for years and it is extremely rare for us to see a failure. Are you equating FITech with Mercedes in engineering, testing, quality, manufacturing and support? If so, glad I don't own a Mercedes.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

If so, glad I don't own a Mercedes. Its so obvious when someone doesn't read any part of a post. feets is referring to the Lean Burn reference/comparison given..... " Seems to me that the weak point of the old Lean Burn system was having the electronics controlling everything on the air cleaner atop the engine. The heat and vibration combined for an unreliable system"

I am going to try the EFI8. Thanks everyone for your input. Did they give you a delivery date? I ordered my EFI8 (FIF-30012) from Summit on 6/8/16, expected to arrive 7/15/16?

HOWEVER, the thread, you know all those other posts you forgot, is about FiTech stuff. Who's program is not an OEM type setup. Nor has it got the resources of a Mercedes to test, evaluate, design, manufacture, repair, program, simulate or any of the myriad of things an OEM manufacturer goes thru to certify a system for road use. Till proven otherwise it's safer to consider any aftermarket system to be more akin to lean burn than today's stuff. Anyone ever run the Holley Projection analog system? I did, POS and Holley had more resources to develop an aftermarket EFI system than most, being that they were an OEM supplier.

I did, POS and Holley had more resources to develop an aftermarket EFI system than most, being that they were an OEM supplier. FiTech's main product line is to provides fuel injection setups to OEM's. They've worked on stuff varying from Ford, Volvo, and a myriad of other car manufacturers from all over the world. Some we haven't even heard of. The aftermarket setup is a secondary operation and is just something new they decided to venture into the past couple years. I've spoken to the CEO of the company and a couple of their employees as they're based in SoCal.

I ordered the Efi tank, and now I have to decided which in tank pump to use. From Tanks Inc. ?? I hope you've been keeping up on the posts about those. Seems everyone has had to do major mods to get any decent size pump into one. In my opinion the ONLY good thing about the Tanks Inc. tank is the baffles!
