Default New Toy For My Camaro...

I've Got A New Toy For My Camaro!
Just finished late yesterday evening, a new FiTech EFI system. I went with the Tanks Inc. EFI tank, Walbro 255 in tank pump. My original fuel lines were 3/8" feed and 5/16" return. I had to increase the return to 3/8" per FiTech. Everyone knows how a small block chevrolet is when the engine is cold. I wouldn't get from my house to the front of the sub division without it stumbling on it's face and finally dying when I got to the stop sign. I went as far as taking the manual choke off and putting a electric one on and it still didn't work like I wanted it to.

I went to the garage this morning, got in, never hit the accelerator and the car started right up, idled perfectly. I took off and there was never a hint of stumbling as I drove when it was 23 degrees outside. So far I am really happy with this. I know I've got a lot of playing around to do with this but so far wow! I had been in contact with the FiTech technicians all the while and I'm telling you these guys are ready to help and so far always accessible. I will let everyone know how this goes on down the line...

That's awesome! I've heard many similar stories with their systems.

Well, it's been nine months, and I've got to say the longer I drive it the better this thing performs. Still a good investment in my opinion.
