Hey Guys,

Question on where you guys hooked up your MAP input for your MSD box (ASSuming you are using this on an LS app)? Did you guys T off the EZ EFI's MAP or did you install another sensor in the intake.

I know this may seem counter-intuitive to use on an LS but I have a specific reason.

Open to your thoughts. Judging by what most are using it on, it would appear they are using distributor'd engines and controlling just fuel with this set-up.

Thanks,
Dave

So is this system MAP or MAf based?? I am assuming there is no timing control...just fuel control based on O2 sensor feedback.

Does anyone know if the EZ EFI will handle more than 500 hp? I have 510hp naturally aspirated on my SBF 427 and I want to add a Paxton Supercharger. Paxton says up to a 30% gain in hp over stock. Would the easy work or would I need to step up to the XFI and all the tuning costs etc?

Personally I'd choose an XFI system once you go beyond N/A. You're going to need effective control of your timing etc and the EZ EFI will not do that.

MAP based... and you are correct. The EZ EFI builds a VE table based on your input of cubic inches and nozzle size - fuel pressure etc... and then self corrects that table with driving and using the readings it gets from the O2. There is NO timing control. Super simple - super effective system.
