Default Fast XFI ???

Is this worth $1300

It’s been on FB marketplace for several weeks.

I will be running e85, 12-5:1 compression. 427 stroker small block ford. Victor junior manifold

I’m expecting 500 horsepower

Would i be better off with a purpose built carburetor?

Thanks

I have used FAST XFI for a long time. It is good. However, if I would efi today, go Holley. It’s all about support services. A carburetor is much simpler but efi is more exciting.
By the way, I learned about carburetor modifications from a friend of mine.
His name was Smokey Yunick. Given, he has passed, I still keep his private number on my cell phone.

I always think to myself, if it's been up that long, how good a deal is it?

People scour market place several times a day. I know, I'm one of them.

To echo a bit what was already said, if you're going EFI right now I'd go Holley. Are they the best? Prob not, but the support and the tuner I have (who is a member here) is amazing.

Not a deal, even if it was free.
