I have a couple (like half a dozen) different engine lift accessories... the old static bolt in place of the carb on an intake... and one that has a big azz screw for raising or lowering the tail... and another real handy version that does that but again - bolts onto the intake... BUT -- always a big butt -- this sling is perfect for a application like mine where I want to stick it in with the intake installed -- or my brother in laws blower motor etc.

I wish you were closer so you could come over and help me when I need it!

The motor combo -- is better than fantastic... and we all know it's all about the combo! This combo is big bore (4.155) - stroke - 3.750.... and small heads that flow well (Dart Pro 1 180's) and a cam that has real decent lift with a spread out LSA (114*'s if I remember the number)... for good idle and vacuum signal.

The EZ EFI is the best thing I've done to the car - and for me PERSONALLY - in the (to use AL's kind of statements) history of mankind! The car starts instantly - hot or cold - idles rock solid - as in - the tach does not move... (18* initial timing @ 900 rpms). It has INSANE throttle response... huge torque that is right off idle... and pulls like a freight train to redline (6200ish is my shift point in the 700r4 so set redline at 7000 in the ecu just for protection of the engine - it never hits that).

I left the A/F ratios at the factory defaults - 13.5 idle - 14. cruise - 12.8 WOT. This is running 36lb injectors and 45 PSI on a vacuum referenced regulator. Today I set the idle A/F at 13.8 and it responded with a slightly crisper note and a little higher rpm. Trust me when I say this thing is a window rattler... yet drives so docile. I'll have to post up a video using the Go Pro...

After all of this -- when I go out for a drive... I don't want to stop. It runs so damn well - and the drivability is just flawless. In 10 years of EFI - I've never had a motor run so well. Period. The key is good solid vacuum signal for the MAP sensor - a good CLEAN tach signal from an MSD type output - and the ECU MUST BE wired directly to the battery with the proper gauge wiring... plug the rest in and go!

EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

To steal Al Morenos style of statements...

Happy... is not a big enough word to describe how I feel about this new set up.

It's the best damn thing in the whole wide universe and maybe even the galaxy!!

Even better than twin pops and sliced bread?

I've been digging that FAST EZ Efi setup for the FFR as well. Heard a lot of good things about it and it seems reasonably affordable as far as EFI goes.

John ---

I only used the ECU and the wiring harness they sell for "multiport" systems. I didn't use any of their fuel pumps or their throttle body etc - since I have a combo of "parts" for my 8 stack.

I'm now using an intake from INGLESE - which is based on Webber IDA's - but they've cast in a large common plenum in the valley. I'm using Imagine Injection billet throttle bodies... and then the FAST EZ EFI as I said.

For me -- it was like going from a Windows based computer to the Apple. You buy an Apple - you open it up - turn it on and use it. You never care about the settings etc because you never have to know about them. Now -- WINDOWS on the other hand - you have to know all the little secret boxes to check (or uncheck) and where all those little windows are - and you have to know or understand all manor of computerese.... SO the Accel Gen 7 is like the window crap -- you need an expert and a dyno - and you better know what you're doing... and it's going to take multiple days/trips to get it right. The FAST EZ EFI -- is a 20 minute wonder - you plug it in - answer the questions - start it up and go for a nice drive. When you get home you're all done and have a smile from ear to ear. Simple. Done. Happy.

GregWeld,

I am looking for information on how the eight stack works without an IAC valve (new to fuel injection). How is idle quality and how does the engine react when the AC is switched on?

I saw your post on FAST where you described a problem you were experiencing recently and you mentioned not having an IAC. The FAST tech seemed confused (I assume these are the same folks giving tech support for the Inglese system with the FAST controller...)

Thanks!
Todd

I ran an individual runner setup with FAST, but I ran a remote IAC setup. Worked awesome. Mentioning it in case you weren't aware of the remote mounting options.
