Kevin, that looks sweet brother! With that air cleaner on there most won't even know a carb no longer lurks under there. Great job! Thumbs Up

Worth the $$ wasn't it? Wink

Is that a Wilwood hydraulic fluid reservoir for a hydraulic clutch I spy there?

Sarge..... Good eye! yup i snuck Wildwood Hydro for the TKO. You are correct, no one knows that im injected with the large KN and cover. thanks it is sweet and i'm kind of proud how the install went. no kidding--bolt her on and wire up. All wires were perfectly labeled so even a plumber like me had no problem. The damn thing tunes itself and really runs like a bat outa hell! The only problem is you have to be careful taking off as it is instant power. I just may have to get used to itWink

FYI the only issue I have run into is the cheap chinese MAP sensor that comes with the kit. Replace with Delco or similar and it will be super stable.

Jeez, you'd think the company would appreciate a little feedback on their products. That bothers me when they "think" their stuff is ok when in fact it was not. Like you said, we all know better. But, now we can advise others of this issue if they use this system. Glad to hear your car is running good. Thumbs Up

Sarge, thought i would give an update as i have been beating it up for a few months now!!!
Im going to knock on wood here.....But it is still performing perfect with no problems. Anyone who wants to do it, I now say go for it but if your using the fast efi and have problems change out the map sensor and it will run great.

That's awesome to hear Kevin! Thumbs Up

I just ordered a EFI unit from FiTech for my wife's newly acquired '87 Olds 442 w/350 Olds "Rocket" engine. I've heared very good review's about this system, so I guess I'll be a guinea pig. The FiTech unit starts at $795. They are doing a $100 rebate until the end of May. I opted for the 600 hp model incase I want to get a little crazy under there. lol.


Thanks for the update!
