Has anyone tried the FItech 70050/70051
My setup is a 99 5.3
NNBS intake
92mm WARR tb
Aftermarket fuel rails
72lb bosch FIC matched injectors
Ported stock 862 heads with Howard springs
Morel 5315 lifters, cloyes chain, GMPP HV oil pump
Straub bushing retrofitted stock rockers, moly pushrods
Custom cam motion 218/228 .561/.561 114.5+5.5
Full SS headers, 3 to 4 FM merge into a 3" fatback
Torqstorm supercharger running 11psi
2004r with billet internal upgrades, 2400/2600 stall billet converter with oversized lockup clutch, dennys 3" nitrous ready DS with 1350 yokes, ford 8.8 with 3.55 gears
Estimated HP is around 650 at the crank prob closer to 700. Right now HP tuners has been working fine besides a cold and hot start issue and a light surge when coming to a stop that goes away a few sec later. I'm hoping the FItech takes care of the cold start and idle annoyances.

glide which is in the car or go back to my 4L60E RPM Level X Circle D 4000
and E85
Was FI and then went to carb, now that I'm carb and E85 I only get about 8-10 mpg and still can run 9's easy but miss cruising. Before I was getting 22 mpg and running pump gas and could drive 70 miles to track and run a 9.
Had HP tuners but for me it was a pain anytime I wanted to test something out. So looking for simplicity
So I'm waiting to see how the kits are on start up and self learn.

It's easy, the FItech harness has a connector for a LS3 MAP sensor.
If you don't have a LS3 map sensor and can't upgrade to an LS3 map sensor in the 1,2,3 BAR (which every suites your needs) then you need to adapt the LS3 connector on the harness to the MAP sensor you have.
I have a LS1 style NNBS truck intake, the truck MAP sensor is is a different style than the LS3 so it physically won't mount into the truck intake. I don't feel like replacing the sensor with an LS3 and figuring out how to get it to fit cleanly. It's cheaper for me to get the harness adapter and use the GM 2 BAR sensor for my application that I already have. But finding one that converts the LS3 harness to a LS1 Map sensor was hard to find.
LS1 on left and LS3 on the right
