[DeTomaso] powerjection

[Justin Greisberg]

FAST XFI software seems really good.  looks like it is set up to work with port style fuel injection (8 injectors).  It is far easier and old-school looking to use a throttle body injection system, like retrotek powerjection, or FAST EZ EFI.  Also, based on their web site, FAST XFI=Expensive!  i am thinking about seeing if I could use XFI to run my throttle body, although I am really hoping to be able to figure out more myself with current software from retrotek.  just hitting a wall.

Justin,
 
   Have you seen the FAST XFI DVD:

It's pertty good.  I have talked to them a few times and they seem to be good guys and really into their product.  I'm picking up a Weiand single plane manifold tonight that I had injector pockets installed in and hope to have the engine together with a FAST XFI system in a couple months.

Update to anyone interested in the powerjection retrotek professional products  fuel injection system.  advertised as more or less plug and play.

1. i can't get the system to make a fast idle, so tough to keep the car running for the first minute, like a carb without a choke.
2. Bog off idle on light acceleration which is not going away.
3. tough to start car sometimes - just cranks a lot, especially when hot.

given that the original company retrotek was bought out by professional products, and the original owner/technician is long gone, the current tech support seems less able to help. It is sometimes hard to get the tech guy to respond, and so far, I have not made progress.  I have not given up yet, but I am close to it.  

SO I WOULD NOT SUGGEST GOING WITH THIS COMPANY.  IF THINGS CHANGE, I MAY TOTALLY CHANGE MY TUNE, BUT DISAPPOINTED WITH THE TECH SUPPORT, NOT THE PRODUCT.  

I have found FAST to be much more helpful, even though I have not bought from them (yet), and they have a web forum with (what looks like) loads of info.  Their EZ EFI does not allow you touse a computer and does not seem to have as much tuning, and their XFI system is really nice but very expensive!
