    Default New Holley or FiTECH - EFI KITS - THOUGHTS?

    Looking at buying one of these new EFI Complete kits for my BBC.

    Anyone use or install these. Seem like some nice Packages. I am leaning towards the FiTech a little over the Holley

    Here is the Holley Kit:

    Here is the FiTECH Kit:

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fif-30008

    Both would require this this Command Center Kit to not run a return line, plumb my new stainless tank, new electric fuel pump, etc...
    (Nice bundle to use my existing -8an fuel line and Holley HP series Mechanical Fuel Pump)

    Anyone install one of these kits? Thoughts...

    You should have just LS swapped it when you had the chance.

    LOL... Maybe, but this new combo made nice power!

    Decided to keep my 67 with old school grunt. My new setup outgrew my old Quick Fuel Carb so instead of splurging on a new Carb, for a little more i can have the modern efi ontop of the old school pump.

    For the price, Fitech seems to be reliable and easy to use.

    Anthony,

    Thank you for the input. I tried reading through that thread... it's huge. I did not find anything regarding the Command Center. What issues are they having with those. Looks like a decent solution to avoid return lines, new in tank or external fuel pump, etc...

    Burning pumps up and vapor lock.

    Fuel boiling in it

    In theory it's a great "idea" but fails horribly. The guy I know that tried one FINALLY got fitech to refund after shipping it back a few times and multiple units.

    Ran a return line and intank pump... zero issues
