Maybe FiTech learned LS engines matter? :)

Jeg's has it also on their site, however neither site actually has them in stock. I've actually called Fitech and they say the kits will be available either 1st or 2nd quarter of 2017. I called Jegs and the guy talked to his contact at Fitech, and he said they might be available mid to late December 2016....So they'll be out one day.

Even though this "loaded" intake comes with rails, injectors etc who's to say its any good???? The injectors alone could cause a nightmare tuning/running situation if they are garbage. When you see prices like this, you have to stop a moment and think a bit about the true value of what your getting.

Looks like a micro squirt in fancy clothes.

How many would even want an intake that doesn't start to make power till 5800 rpm? I guess they look cool. And the touch screen adjustable ecu is nice. Also I can't figure why they would bother with anything under 80lb injectors? That was my gripe with their throttle body injector setup too.

Surprisingly at 16# my injector duty cycle was only around 75% and still pig rich around 10.5 and I only have the smaller 600 unit with 4 66# injectors...

I was talking more for E85... Pretty darn easy to max out 80's with that fuel and a mild SBE build.

Forcefed- I'll be doing just that as one of the reasons I'm going to the gold
Box is to have the capability to run 93 or e85 and be able to blend the two. My goal is only 550 or so whp so I'm hoping that 80s will get me there...

It looks like you will be able to buy a cheaper version and use your own intake and injectors.

That looks to be a great deal. Standalone ECU with LS harness for $795, or $995 with trans control.

I called Fitech and the $795 kit will come with a harness, handheld programmer, 1 o2 sensor, and ECU. The $995 kit comes with 2 o2 sensors plus the harness to the transmission. Both kits require you to buy coil pack harnesses. Not a bad deal overall compared to what comes with a Holley kit. Though I think the Holley kit is a lot more capable and I've heard that Fitech's tech customer service is more miss than hit. Just what I've heard though, no experience with them.

Whats the coil pack harness cost? It really sounds like a comparable to a microsquirt. Anyone know of anything it can do that a micro can't? Or vise-versa? Micros are plug and play for $800, or buy it and wire yourself for $300. (no WB02, but includes coil harness) The hand held programmer is a nice touch, but I really like/prefer a laptop or pad with tuner studio for large gauge displays and an easy/larger tuning area.

Yep. From talking to the Fitech rep about the $795 and $995 kits, they left the coil pack harnesses out so that users could use either LS1 or truck style coils.

The key to all this is in the software and firmware. Holley has been using the same hardware for a long time, but they have been updating the software capabilities at a steady pace, because the hardware was already there.

My first wideband was $1200 circa 2003...
