Default Anybody using FAST EZ-EFI 2.0?

I am considering trying a EFI Throttle body to replace my carb. The FAST unit uses 8 injectors insted of 4 and supports more hp (Holly and MSD are up to 600 hp) as my motor is 680 hp. Just wanting to know if anybody has experience (good or bad) before i pull the trigger.
Thanks

EZ EFI 2.0 is claiming boost capable also and timing control. I can't think off the top of my head how much hp they are claiming capability for. Another thing to consider is the EZ EFI 2.0 Sportsman which gives a tuner backdoor so if you don't like what the self programming is doing you can also plug in and manually tune it.

I've been researching these pretty hard myself, wanting one for my Nova.
It's still fairly new and I think they've been a little slow shipping out, don't seem to be many units actually up and running. The ones I've read about are either they love it or hate it. The hates seem to stem from install errors or minor issues with the system itself (leaky O-rings, bad new sensors) but that is all internet chatter so take it for what it's worth...

How radical is your engine? These TBI universal systems seem to struggle with big cams (no vacuum) and high compression and I've got both.

Yes, the cam is 258/262 deg @ 0.050 on 108 deg centers and 11.2:1 compression.

Call Bob Ream at Imagine Injection in Phoenix and tell him I told you to call him. (602) 377-4093 or email him: [email protected]



He is SUPER honest and sells and installs a bunch of these - he will tell you yay or nay... and his technical help is invaluable if you buy the system from him. He has amazing knowledge about EFI in general.

There's a large thread at the other forum with a lot of unhappy customers. I would search for it.

Most of the unhappy customers I've dealt with have had piss poor installs. Some people just think they know... and then there are people that DO know. Big difference.

There is a very long thread over on Pro-Touring.com regarding the 2.0 version. What I've taken from that thread is there have been (what I consider) minor problems with the kit, but the FAST customer service isn't up to snuff with helping correct them.

That is why I recommend a reseller like Bob Ream.
