I understand Brian's explanation and don't disagree with it. My thing is, I went with the EZ-EFI so I didn't have to know all that. We didn't want to spend 5k on the induction and another 5k in tuning and dyno time. And yes I think we all know there are people doing that. I also wanted to do as Jody said and use a rear mounted regulator. As he said this is a whole different discussion. For me I will go back to my previous comment. "Must" implies no other option. I think you Greg have proven that the EZ-EFI system works well when applied to the correct application and without vac. ref. to boot. Jody has also found an application that did not suit it with Charlie's Cammer. In Jody's case, I don't think it had anything to do with the lack of a vac. ref. regulator. To me this concludes it is not a "Must". I'm not trying to maintain a pissing match here either, but as we have discussed in the past, there are many people that read these posts who do not participate in the discussion. For them to read this and feel they "must" do this I think is not right. Anyway, I am comfortable with what he have done so far. When the truck is on the road, I will know whether I just stuck my size 14 in my mouth! 
I gotta say this, these type of threads can contain the best information. And Brian, I'm not trying to be a Jackwagon.  A debate over this stuff is better than a lot of other things!  |
I did move the regulator up to the engine and ran a vacuum reference and it made no difference in how it ran or the issues I was having. The issue with Charley's car is that the EZ EFI is not the right system for that combo, he's going to an XFI.
