Default Fast efi

I have the full XFI 2.0 kit with injectors, rails, loom, intake manifold, ecu, dizzy etc and it works really well. After my mechanic inatalled the system and installed the generic map for our spec engine + mods (347), the car was sent to the tuner. He said that he though the base map was about "75% there". A few days of expert tuning including, power runs, cold starts etc sorted that out. The tuner is very experienced and was very impressed with the features of the system.

I have had a little experience with auto-tunes on power commanders for road bikes and although they might be able to make incremental adjustments for elevation, and general atmospheric conditions, it is not a viable alternative for a proper tune by an experienced professional. I've also had auto-tunes mess with perfectly good maps...I found that once I had a setup that I was happy with, I would disable the auto-tune.... Just my 2c.

The only issue that we had was that there was a 12 month gap between the time that we purchased the system from the U.S. and installation. In that time a fault in the ecu became apparent to the manufacturer and all subsequent kits installed are now required to have an separate ignition module to be fitted to avoid extra load on the ECU. We didn't receive this advise and subsequently we endured down time to fix that very problem. Once diagnosed, it was an easy (if not necessarily cheap) fix 😉.

My mechanic has already bought a FAST setup for his own car and another of his clients is in the process of purchasing a kit after seeing my cobra. I would be happy to reccomemend one 👍.
