Spoke with Mr. Dan twice today and saw that Tony sent me a PM. I am placing my deposit with Dan tomorrow and FI is starting the processing on my kit as soon as the deposit is received. Looking forward to finally getting some parts and putting my Z back together. Thanks for all the service and help Mr. Dan and Tony, they have been really helpful and informative with everything so far. I honestly couldnt ask for much better information, advice, and service from a specialty performance company. Thus far bravo gentleman , cant wait until I can drive it.

May I ask : Are there any issues with the driveability such as rough idle ( Hot or cold ? ) or any other issues such as surging, low RPM stalling ... ect ? I am very concerned about reliability for daily driving. Thank you |

Personally, I have the Fast-785 fuel system (which effectively replaces the entire oem fuel system, and converts to a return setup) including 1000cc injectors and it's smooth as silk. You literally cannot tell a difference from oem in these aspects. There are many people with several thousand miles on this kit and zero issues whatsoever. |

I have a complete fuel system overhaul, 485lph fuel pump, Fast Intentions oil cooler, CSF radiator.My temps have never even budged, in 80degrees traffic, or uphill the steep 3 mile grade during my 40mile commute to work. Rock Solid. I cannot say much more. My tune is running 11+psi and 600hp daily on stock block. Freeway pulls are fun as hell, I take the scenic route to work(280 north), soooooo much fun. I enjoy the **** out of this car. Aside from the initial power, it is so solid. I go over the car weekly, never found anything out of place, the power is still there, reliability is OEM so far. I have fuel press, AFR, boost, oil temp, water temp and oil press monitored 24/7...everything has been in check. No low or high warnings at all. |

Single 485...not quite a drop in. Dan@FI did the mod as we decided to step up from a 340 for ***** and gigs. All I can really say is that we have in inline filter replacing the in-tank. AFAIK, it is in the stock assembly, just do not know how much it was altered to fit. Surprisingly the 485 is not loud at all, lol. After hearing a 400 and many 340s whine and hum, the big 485 has been silent thus far.
No UOA, my first oil change was at maybe 2000 miles. I ran most of the oil and filter load through a paper filter, no metal, no sheen, so that's a great sign. Next oil change in about a month will be going to blackstone for sure. I wanted to do the home test as a knee-jerk reaction to a friends boosted 350 having crazy amounts of metal when ran through a paper towel. |

Yeah, i get UOAs done on every change on the gt500, will be doing it on the Z. If I was thinking, I would have set some aside, instead trying to filter everything and potentially altering a proper UOA.
Its only an extra $25 an oil change. I consider it a requirement for any serious car. One of those things that so many skimp on(fuel, tune, cooling) and that boggles me. |

Sure has been quiet on the F.I. front. I had to go to page two to get one of these threads. Who's the next vehicle to shatter the previous stock block numbers?
Usually when it's this quiet Tony is about to drop something awesome on the VQ community...Y'all working on that AT upgrade :wtf2: |
Too busy driving! Been daily driving the car again this week. 12 psi, open roads, no CHP...been fun! Sucks having a daily drivable 600whp z...

The clutch is a treat though. Not one slip, grabs, but very smooth. Worth the wait. Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk |

If I lived in the States, I would go exactly this way of F.I. Enjoy the power that produced this kit. I'm with my kit already fast, but the numbers I read here are just amazing. :tup::tup::tup::tup: |
So guys to liven up this thread from the past few days ,I am currently awaiting the processing of my FI stage 2 kit. I have 93 octane available locally. I have a custom 3in. exhaust setup, lightweight pulleys/flywheel,and stage 3 clutch. Also have a custom methanol injection system installed and ready to be connected to the intakes. Gauges are wired and mounted.Anyone wanna take a shot in the dark on what would be some safe and realistic #'s as far as hp/tq/psi/? Also any additonal advice on , mods, parts or considerations would be appreciated too, thanks!

No idea..I HATE running for any type of spray, just not a fan of having a clog,crimp,empty tank or other malfunction instantly detonating my engine because uprev won't have a method to detect the flow of the spray and adapt to low/slow flow. But to each their own.
If it were me, I would lose the meth and tune on 93. 500whp is a no brainer on that setup. That being said, 600whp is easy, I drive it daily on e85, not a problem. I would still advise on a fuel system. I think it is an absolute must, at least a return style correction or a fast 500-700. Just remember that the stock system is quite bad as it is. Clutch, go with specialty z..handles my power with no joke and is daily drivable even in a 6 puck setup. Just remember, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a safe number on meth injection mixed with boost on a na car. Its just adding way too many variables to an ecu that is blind to the fact.

Who you are going to have install and tune is also just as important!
|
I was hoping the methanol would be more of a safteyeasure for the motor rather than hazard. I have also purchased and installed a failsafe gauge/monitor
And I am compleltey installing myself , I have done all work on my car up to this point including a previous flywheel swap , so I'm decently inclided as far as mechanics go. I planned on getting a base map from FI and on going with one of their suggested tuners in Georgia , which im from the boot |
Well talking to many shops who have installed the kit. It is much easier than other TT options, not to mention F.I.s reputation for fitment is unrivaled. I don't fault you one bit for trying to take if on.
Any of the recommended tuners should work. I am just the kind of guy who likes to jump in the car, fire it up and drive. When u get home I park, wait 15, check the dipstick and move on. The meth is just not for me, the problem is you will have to have a dedicated tune for it. You have to manually engage this tune. Lets say you turn on the tune, not the meth...it's not that hard, but that's why I went e85. Understandable, it isn't for everyone. I just don't like variables. The only way to safety is better tune and better fuel. At least to me. Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk |

^agreed. Its just like tuning with nitrous. Just keep watch on ur meth system and make sure it's full. That's all you have to check.
|
Well I have a custom 14 gallon tank so it shouldn't be a problem to keep some solution available lol
|
Meh. I just like simple things. The fewer lines, pumps, injectors and tanks the better. Its just me.
We are building to top 1000....the motor should not see a drop of meth, coming from the gt500 community, it has caused so many more problems than it has ever been worth. Just my. 02. By all means, go nuts tho, nothing wrong with it. Don't let me naysay you. Everyone told me my engine would fail with the numbers we run...I would suspect peak numbers to be similar to what's e85 guys run. Stage 2 will likely support up to 800up as well. Its truly a great kit. Hey when a turbo kit can help push a couple 2860s to 700...it is quite amazing. Best of luck and welcome brotha, no matter what you do, it will be a absolute force. Just chill on the torque....haha I had to! Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk |
Everyone thought you were running pump gas...
No one knows the limit of e85. I think that's prolly why. |
I appreciate the advice guys and I definitely respect both sides. Of what's said .....I'll be careful about it and hopefully see nothing but benifits
|
Meth is a great addition, if you are the type to worry about things tune the car off meth that way if anything goes wrong with the system the car wont care. Its just like tunning a car on 91 but only running 93 in it to play it safe.
