If the limitation is only fuel and you have enough pump (and I do) shouldn't one be able to swap injectors and up the max even more? Unless the limit becomes airflow through the throttle body. My 540 dynoed at 750HP and I would love to try this system as it would allow me to keep my port matched intake. My fuel system is already built for EFI with an A1000 and full return system.

Ok, question for you smarter guys. What really makes this better than say Holley ProJection TBI or similar TBI setups? That all this basically is, right, TBI, albeit with what appears to be a much neater, compact install? The ECM/electronics? At 43psi it does seem to run much higher fuel pressure than common TBI systems.

And how might this work on an LS1 with a carb intake? I guess you'd still use the msd ignition unit used for carbed LS motors and follow the directions for CD ignitions. Reading the instructions has raised my interest in this a bit.

Just get one of the tall deck Dart blocks, and go for a super stroker something over 700cu

I agree. I would think injectors would do the trick. I don't think airflow would be an issue. I have talked with FAST about this system. You have to disregard some of what is in the instructions. Some of the options they speak of are coming, but not available yet. They said the next 90 days would show more with this system. My eyes are on it. Very interesting.

EZ EFI is a learning program. Teaches and tunes it self.

Street Rodder did an install and loved it.. very easy to install.

I will be installing one on a dyno engine for a story and then will be putting it in a certain well known second gen for some "real world" evaluation.

The only downside is that it's only viable up to 600 hp, but it still covers a majority of the people out there.

Will report on how well it goes on in two weeks.

The problem is that there are only four injectors, so it's only possible to support so much horsepower. It's not like you can put 95-lb injectors in there. lol

I forgot what the calculation is for injectors based on HP is.. I need to look that up.

Yea, it's easier... The main difference is that you don't even need to change the intake, so it's closer to being like a carb swap. I don't know whay it wouldn't work with an LS engine.
