Since I’ve push one of my cars into project limbo, I decided to try to finish my Cuda. I’m looking at getting a carb, distributor for it and came across an ad for Aces Fuel Injection. They carry some nice looking equipment and they have a special package going on for July and thinking it might be a decent set up. Wanted to hear if anyone has any info or experience with them.

Just an opinion but if I'm going efi, it's going to be sequential multi port.

It's either that or carbureted and nothing in between.

I've used both throttle body injection as well as direct port injection system and the direct port can tune each cylinder with the better ECU out there now
The throttle body can't be tuned for each cylinder

Kind of hard to tune each cylinder unless you have a ton of dyno time and or O2s for each cylinder, I don't remember seeing that unless it's a very high end thing or some OE development stuff.

Not that high end, an MS gold box ( $950) can do it no problem using 8 spartan 3 controllers on a can bus, it will adjust each cylinder in auto-tune mode. Now, you are going to drop $1200 on the o2's and you have to set it up for sequential injection, but if you wanted to have everything perfect, this is the way to go.

I'm hoping to be able to use eight EGT with eight EFI E85 injectors and tune for best WOT AFR
in all honesty I don't know what I don't know so I'm going to try and learn on my own dime, my time with my parts

[u][/u]I would suggest going with a tried and true company if you’re new to efi. It’s very easy to stumble into an inadequate combination if you have limited awareness of the things you may need.
Go with a Holley HP or Dominator. I don’t sell systems, but I do use/tune them. I get zero benefit from my suggestions.

Thank you Trends. I was looking at the system for mainly street use (don’t plan to trailer any of my cars) and they offered a huge package for mopars. Has not only the throttle body, but distributor, coil, ecu and a bunch of stuff for a reasonable price. I’ve seen several reviews saying the system is good, but was hoping a member on here could give me real life info on it.

What's the all in price difference between this system and Holley? I'm using their entire setup on a big block for street duty and I'm happy with it. You'll find lots of people here using their EFI.

Which one, Aces or Holley?

If I were to jump in and need to put a throttle body EFI on something I would go with Holley. So many options and so much support out there for Holley it is crazy.

Looks like a start-up company. Been around for less than a year. They were promoting the full system, but after reading he ad, they don't even include the throttle body in the promo price? I'll just keep looking at the Holley stuff as the seem to be more available options for their kits.

Holley.

A friend of mine just bought the Aces Killshot kit for his 85 Ram. I was pretty impressed with the kit, it was all packaged very nicely, the parts feel and look great, the wiring harness is loomed well and feels quality, the instructions are pretty decent as well.

I helped him finish up the install yesterday, he bought everything from them including the distributor and fuel system. My timing light that I took over was DOA for some reason so we just had to take a swing at timing. It took me just a couple of minutes to set everything up in the handheld computer. It fired right up and idled close to target pretty quickly. It was overly rich for awhile but it was running perfect after a few minutes. We went and drove it and again it was really rich but it was obviously "learning" to whatever AFR target they have. Truck starts, idles, and drives excellent.

This is a bone stock 85 318 that he put a air gap manifold on and this EFI. He has all the parts to put a single turbo kit on it and that is the real reason he went EFI. The stock 318 is 75-100HP under the minimum for this kit and it still drove well and had great response.

We didn't have time to hook it to a laptop so I can't comment on the software and what other changes it allows. For a plug and play setup on a basic engineI would have to say this seemed like a pretty good value.
