FiTech 600 hp EFI system is $995.

FiTech Fuel Command is $395.

Total is $1390. You spend the afternoon installing it then go drive the car. It tunes itself. No more smelling like fuel and bending over a hot engine while trying to not scratch the fenders.

Another system is due out 4/1/16 that will run a 400 hp engine and save you $200.


Yes, carbs are cheaper but the prices are getting pretty close. The time spent tuning a carb turns into cruising down to the local watering hole.
