I would look into the Holly Sniper system before making a final call on FiTech.

don't waste time with the fuel command center. I have to disagree, way simpler installation than frame-mounted pumps or for cars where in-tank pumps aren't practical. Mine has given me zero problems. That Fuel Command system would be cool in a Moon tank mounted in the grill for that gasser look. Kevin

don't waste time with the fuel command center. When someone makes a statement like this with no reason I don't waste my time with it.

Without a comparison of failure rates of other fuel delivery systems, anecdotal experience is just that.

Don't need that. All you need is data on the command center failures. MTBF is solely calculated on the unit in question, not some other system.
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.

I installed my unit myself cleanly and as the manufacturer suggested paying attention to the details. New clean tank, 3/8 fuel line, properly returned FCC vent. I've had not issues other than needed a software update Mine is located in same spot, and that's the key, properly installed return line!

Well a little update on the FITech set up my buddy has. It seems that he doesn't like running 9 flat so he picked up the new Holley Sniper fabricated sheet metal intake for his big block. This set up is for 2-4"s. He says that another 1200 FITech will be just right. I looked at a number of those intakes, LS, Big blocks, Small block and for Fords. No mopar as of yet but they sure are light and look mighty fine. To be continued.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Without changing the default settings, the pump in the FCC runs at full pressure throughout the operating range which might account for the reported failures. The pump can be slowed at idle with the hand-held controller.

Yes, this is what I read in FiTech's solution to problem and set my per. I did still have a bad pump from the get go because mechanic commented at install he didn't like how it seemed to be flooding at beginning.But as I said, all good now and I'm happy with it since and the easier starts and improved cold idle alone make it worth it to me.
