Been doing a decent amount of research on FI systems I want to go with one of those self learning systems. Unless there's a better option for the price I have not seen.

Anyway, its pretty much come down to the msd atomic system, the holley sniper system, or now edlebrocks system. Or whatever else shows up for dirt cheap.

Anyone with a lot of experience with any of these systems I'd like to know your opinions to help figure out what I myself want to get, thank you!

Yeah I am leaning heavily to that system I like it a lot to me everything seems to be a knock off of that system. I just cannot find a good video that shows more than the install but more of the problems the system has and how easy the tuning is for going past the self learning

Whenever people ask about aftermarket EFI, I try to remember which one Freiburger and Finnegan used and what episode(s). I remember now, though. But yeah, it seemed like a cool system, and if I was gonna go that direction, I'd definitely give it thorough consideration.

Does any one remember when Holley Projection was the hot set up?

That **** always had me confused, so I never messed with it.

I've had good experience with the fitech, a friend and I put one on his Jeep Grand Waggoneer.

@Splandman has the Holley Sniper system on his. He said he loves it.

I'm liking the Edelbrock system now that they reduced the price.

Summit released a system too. Supposedly it is made by Fitech.

I’m a fan of multi port injection whether Holley, Eddy or Accel just not in the budget right now

IMO, FITech is marketed as a cheap system. While this is true, you also are NOT comparing apples to apples. The cheap $700 version everybody falls too is a fuel only system. Most (I think all) of the other "name brand" systems are fuel AND ignition control. To get that from FITech you need to go with one of their more expensive units, which, low and behold, is about the same price as the big name guys. I have read quite a few reports of guys going away from the FITech to the Sniper unit and liking the Sniper much more.

If I am doing an EFI conversion, I am NOT doing a fuel only set-up. I want control of both fuel and ignition. And with prices very competitive across the board, I would be going with the big name guys. Would you buy a Kia at the same price of a GM?

True, id really like to have timing control, along with most systems seem to have a methonal injection function too which one way or another I'm gonna have but it'd be nice if my efi and injection system worked together
