Save yourself a ton of grief, switch to an aftermarket system. It will pay dividends in the long run.

I have tuned several with both FAST XFI & Holley. I would certainly disagree. I can & do make the FAST system do things the Holley can not. Besides the Holley ECU failures I have seen.

I have five cars running Holley. I have never had one issue.

Can you give specific examples, and describe the impact of those things?

While I only have 1 jeep running the Fast XFI2, I am quite happy with it. Bought used on EBAY - (replacing the obsolete silver FAST - no longer supported). It is still a work in progress - not a lot of Jeep 4.0 support (on anything!) but no tech problems at all over 2 years.

LOL, I am with you on this Rob. I hear this from time to time while at the Track. You would be surprised at how many people haven't scratched the surface with the capabilities of the more recent EFI units available today.

One thing is something I was doing with my old Jr Stock ‘56. Running more timing in low & second gear. Something Jere Stahl put me onto over twenty years ago. I now run different timing in each gear. Easy 5 hundredths there. Jere told me he and Bill Jenkins had done that for years. Used to do it with our old dual point distributors & a toggle switch. “Turn on” the second set of points to retard the timing. I had re-drilled the breaker plate in my ‘56 Corvette distributor to move that one set of points to adjust the amount of retard. Spent most of a day on my Sun “distributor machine” working that deal out. Had the toggle switch mounted where my Hurst shifter tripped it going to high gear. I was much younger then, could usually remember to flip the switch back on the return road. LOL My FAST ECU does it all for me now. I do have a toggle switch now that shuts that function off, to help slow the car down when I don’t need it. The FAST XFI ECU can hold 5 “tunes”, I just use two.
