"I first approached Chris Mays of COMP Cams/FAST at the 2008 PRI show about a more simple and user friendly EFI system to offer our customers. We have been using the FAST XFI system with great success for several years now (on everything from our mild street Pontiac engines to our 2800 HP twin turbo Pontiac on alcohol) but I was looking for something that anyone could use without having to tune with a laptop.
Chris told me about the new FAST EZ-EFI system and explained that if was a true bolt-on system with no manual tuning required - only a few parameters needed to be entered on the hand-held controller. We have seen less than desirable results with other "self-learning" EFI systems so I was skeptical.
Despite my initial concerns, we set up a dyno test on one of our 461 cubic inch pump gas Pontiacs. We did a base line test using a Holley HP carb and after tuning, the engine made 572 HP. Ron and the guys from FAST then bolted on the EZ-EFI system in a matter of a few minutes, entered a few engine parameters in the programmer and the engine cranked right up.
After letting it idle for a few minutes, they made a full dyno pull. It made 570.5 HP on the FIRST PULL and came back down to a perfect idle. After a couple more pulls, the results got even better – in fact the engine finished up with an additional 3-4 peak HP and a great torque curve.
Needless to say, we were impressed and plan to test the system on even higher HP engines in the near future. I think we've found the perfect EFI system for our Pontiac muscle car customers. Bottom line, the EZ-EFI is actually quicker and easier to tune than a carb."
