We just shipped our first car with it. The issue we faced is they based this
System off a standard 351w Weber intake. This meant there was no way to run a loop on the front of the fuel rails because it hits the distributor. We managed to get around this by capping the rails. Calls to Inglese (actually Comp now) were not that helpful.

I think the system is evolving. The FAST EZ EFI seems great, and the car gets better with every mile driven.

If it means anything we have a ride along video on our YouTube channel...

Thanks Cashburn. I was told to use a Mallory series 32 small diameter distributor. Did you try that dist.?, or did you use the normal diameter distributor and just cap the rails?

I have the system on a CAV GT-40. 302 SB (bored and stroked to 363ci). There is no size of distributor that would allow you to loop the rails on the front. Because of the bundle of snakes we had to improvise on the loop in the back.

Comp Cams help line is not particularly helpful.

I'll try to find or take a better photo to show just how tight it is.

Just wondering....has anyone tried going with a crank triggered ignition to eliminate the distributor completely (I saw one post where someone used coil packs placed over the valve covers....is that crank triggered?)?

Cheers, Dugly

Stephan & all... I've decided a XFI injection system for my 347 (8- stack or 4- barrel; I've not settled yet!) and I've been using the resources at Comps tech forum alot. Go here for XFI tech forum: FAST Product Support - CPG Nation Forum

You will also find tech articles, news, updates etc. here.

To be honest I have to say that the Inglese and Fast XFI catalogues/ tech info is rather disapointing. Here's the list of information I have not found in the catalogues/ tech pages:
Diameter of distributor shaft (to get other gear types)
Bolt diameter on stack flange on 8- stack 50mm IDA TB's (as I think the cost of 440$ for a set of stacks is rather steep)
Distance between the ends of the fuel rail (to figue if a U aluminum tubing can be used)
If the appropiate fuelrail fittings are included and what's the AN size of the fuel in/fuel out? (to plan regulator setup & parts needed)

Thank you
Regards
RuneS

The height is the issue.
