Force Feed ZZ502 - Page 4 - Lateral-g Forums

Time to get back to this stuff. As you may or may not have seen in other posts, the project is underway. Some decisions directly related to the information i got here have been made. As tough as it was to do, we have decided that forced induction will be for a future project. The truck will have the 502 with AFR 315's and new cam. It will also have EFI and probably a Hogan's intake. Good Power reliably...... Now to the questions. The truck is going to have a 4l80e tranny. I would prefer to have one computer run the engine and tran. management. I believe the BS3 is the only one that will do this? Correct me if I am wrong. Does anyone have comments or suggestions on this subject? Has anyone worked with Force EFI in Miami? Any dealers for BS3 on here? I'm looking for any and all comments or suggestions that relate to both the engine and trans. electronics. Thanks. As you can see I do listen!!

Rob @ Force EFI is a good guy, knows his stuff and does nice work.

His lead time estimates can be a bit optimistic though, which is pretty common in this business...

Your very most important FI decision is not how many boxes you have to run, but tech and support. We use FAST and a TCI box and have had great luck. Cost works out the same as the BS3, and I can get someone on the phone at FAST. Finding a local tuner should you not be able to dial in things yourself is most important. Since FAST is the biggest, it is usually easier to find someone familiar with FAST.

this is no knock on BS3, I am sure it is also a fabulous system, but I have such good luck with FAST I have no need to change.

If you decide on FAST, just let me know and we can hook you up.

I know what you mean. I was going to follow that path, just in a different direction. I wanted to establish my wants: (good quality,one box) then figure out the products that will do it (BS3,???,???), then see if I can get a quality system put together and find good phone and local support. If the latter is not doable then I move on. I'm in the process of finding out what EFI systems are supported locally. There are a couple shops with chassis dyno's, I'll probably talk to them and a couple others. Thanks for the offer, I'll probably be giving you a ring to talk.

I agree, the support and product should dictate your purchase. Most of my customer's are local yet, a few are spread out.

Next don't let a high dollar intake think it'll make more power or offer better "air" distribution than a typical single plane on a forced induction engine. Save your $$$.

The TCI controller is abit dated (approx 10yrs). Your better suited w/ XFI canned to a PCS controller. Less wires and a much better controller

Thanks for the info. I have read alot about the PCS controller. If I do not use the BS3, I think the PCS controller will be what I use. Tech support will still be an issue. The sheet metal intake is strictly for visual appeal. Being that this is a street machine, my Dad (The Owner) likes the look. This engine will be normally aspirated, not force feed as the thread title indicates. We decided not to force feed this project after weighing alot of factors. I'm just hoping the Hogan's intake will not detract from the combination.

Anyone else? I love information!!
