FiTech Order
 

I ordered a FiTech system from Summit on 21 May. The web site showed it would ship in a week when I clicked on it. After my order was done it auto updated to 15 July. I called them and they said well it is back ordered from the manufacturer. So I called and was told they were on back order. Okay, so I waited. Then on July 15th no system. So on the 16th it updated to September 15th. I then got ticked off. I called and was told by Summit that Fitech shorted their order. So I called Pace Performance and they had one on the shelf. I bought it and it will be here in a day or two. I wanted to let people know that if you want one of these don’t mess with around just call Pace….. And thru this all I lost out on the $100 rebate that was being offered.

Good to know and please post how you like it cuz im leaning toward one myself.what motor do you plan to run it on?

What good will it do to call Pace? You bought the one they had in stock. Just sayin.

we ordered a motor with the system on it and pace said it was on backorder. Engine showed up with it on it a week later.

Pace performance will always get my engine business going forward

I have installed a dual quad fi tech and do not like it. There return spring rates are way too stiff and their command module is hokey so we used a tanks inc tank.

We installed a Fitech unit on our 70 Streetgrip Camaro in May. The installation took about 4 hours and the car started and ran like a rental. We used their fuel command module as well. The FCM is a cannister that is fed by the oem mechamical fuel pump at low pressure. It contains a 1 qt reservoir and an internal hi pressure fuel pump to supply the injectors. Very clever design, perfect for the person who doesnt want to mess with replacing their oem tank.
I agree that the return spring is a bit stiff, but we overcam that by making the throttle lever a touch longer for more leverage. No biggie.
I have a reasonable amount of EFI experience dating back to 1990, and I think the Fitek unit is by far the best overall package ive ever dealt with. It works like everyone thought EFI was supposed to work 20 years ago...seamlessly.
In addition, the throttle response was improved, the torque was improved, and the fuel milage went from 14 to 18. I'm Ordering 4 more for our other various cars.
Yes, Fitek is backed up now...that happens when you have such a hot product. Patience will be rewarded!

performance improvements in toronto canada has about 100 units in stock and they are selling back to us costumers

Pace is a preferred retailer and they get them first. So even if they don't have one today they will get it before the other guys do. I ordered mine from Summit on May 21st and when I canceled my Summit order it was delayed to 15 Sept.

Summit doesn't know how to handle a backorder. They just keep pushing them out regardless of whether or not the vendor has them in stock. I think this is because they want their orders shipped to them in large volumes to save on shipping.

I never order from Summit unless it shows in stock.

No kidding, I saw that big pile of fi tech right on the store floor, apparently selling like hot buns. Will be giving it a try too
