I hate when he gives you a data sheet without ALL the info. No A/F readings, Eff Vol% , Air Flow. He doesn't use EGT's but IMO they are important also. More on a turbo motor but just the same on a blower motor also. I have 50lb injector on my 482. You running about the same? I don't know what you are running on the blower motor but anything over 72 lbs, SOME of the Fast or Speed Pro ECU's are having driver failures. I have had mine fixed once. The other time was me doing some welding and not unhooking the ECU. Blown Shunt in the box. DUMB@$$. I am looking for a little more torque than your motor and a little less HP. Will retard the cam 6-8 degrees. This will kill a little off the top end and a little extra power in the bottom. Sending my stacks out to Al for the custom screens that go between the stack and throttle body. May also add the little bubble ones on the top of the stacks for extra protection to keep out low flying birds. Thanks for the info. Hope to see your car running somewhere like Limerock one day.

Rick,

Yes, the ETC system is an option on the FAST XFI system. Check out the following link for details:

The most difficult part of this setup involves fab'ing the driveshaft sensor setup. I started with a "standard" driveshaft sensor kit, removed the magnets and had a custom aluminum colar made to fit the flange on the ERA IRS center section. We then just installed the magnets from the original senstor kit in the custom part. Worked out quite well.

The injectors on the 482 are in the 50 lbs/hr range. The supercharged motor uses 60 lb/hr injectors.
