I used an Edelbrock system on my ZZ502 motor and it ran great. 4-5 more mpg and 30-40 more hp. No complaints and customer service was fine to.

Very true, works fine a milder combos. It is somewhat limited in tuning compared to FAST, BS3, Holley, etc., and cannot be run on a forced induction setups. But when tuned correctly it works very well.

FAST, BS3 are awesome systems. Especially for guys like Jody that can actually use the system, for an idiot like me -no way!

I'm positive you could learn to tune it Stuart, you're a very smart guy (not that "smarts" have anything to do with it). I enjoy doing my own tuning and as long as I can continue and am not grenading my stuff I'll keep doing it. It is simpler in most cases to find a trusted tuner though.

Jody is too modest guys. He can tune with these systems, so call him day or night for tech help. LOL. Jody is the man, lets see some shots of that car of yours someday dude.

I know you have already rejected this but I would still suggest letting Frank at Prodigy put together a system based on the FAST controller. This is going to be the most flexible setup you can do since you can hand pick, with Frank's help, every component in the system.

Worst case you can find someone local that can tune it for you. Otherwise, I think Frank has access to someone that can help you tune it if that is even necessary.

This is the route I am going with my BBC.

im not worried about tuning i know a guy who can tune anything, the reason i decided against FAST was because from what I was told the system is really more than i need and its more sophisticated than i need. i talked to someone at prodigy and they said it was mainly for 800-900+ hp engines and mines gonna be around 520. he told me it would be easier and more practical to go with a holley or edelbrock for what im doing
