Purchased the 30002 system for a Ford 302. After installing the system and setting it up for my application I drove it 110 miles to give it time to learn. This drive was a constant drive through neighborhoods, on the highway and down access roads. The last 10 miles I drove it fairly hard so the system would have different driving conditions to work with. Upon returning from the test drive all the fluids were checked, timing was verified along with fuel pressure.
My problem was with WOT from a stop. It would bog and gradually ramp up. First I tried advancing the timing from 14 to 16. No help. I then tried changing springs on the weights from heavy slow advance to light fast advance. No help. I then tried changing the Accel Pump settings in increments of +10 and then in increments of -10 all the way to +/- 40. No help. This is where I call FI Tech for help. I informed them that I had a 355 posi with a C4 3 speed auto trans. 2200 stall and the cam has a small duration of 221/225.
They suggested the setting that I already tried and after I told them I did that I was then asked for a Data Log. I sent the Data Log after trying the WOT from a stop. After reviewing the log the tech told me he could not explain why my tps reading was showing zero at the WOT event. He then suggested that I try the latest software. After the install I once again took it out for a 100 mile test drive using the same route and driving manners as before. Still had the bog at WOT from a stop. I again tried adjusting Accel Pump +/- 40 in 10 increments. No change. I did not Data Log it this time because it is acting the same as it did with the older software.
My next step was to purchase a Dual Regulator so one regulator would bring the fuel pressure down to 12 and the other regulator would bring it down to 6.5. I purchased a Quick Fuel 650 Carb with Mech Secondaries.
Now it will burn the tires through 2nd gear.
I have no exhaust leaks, no intake leaks, no bad grounds, no low fuel pressure ,no slipping transmission, the stall converter is not loose because it is a 1200.00 custom built unit for my application. This engine is a fresh build with quality parts and I am not willing to risk my 7000.00 engine because of an improper fueling issue.
I am going to send the system into FI TECH so they can check it out. I have seen mixed reviews on the system and most have said that the Tech side of the company is lacking something. If they send it back to me with a reason for my issues and it works like it should then I will come back and change this review.
