This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

SFI On a BBB

    Thinking about how this might be accomplished with a 455. I like the tunability and reliability of the FI set up. Any suggestions on which specific intake to have modified for this?
    I'm thinking to go with the Accel computer etc. Did Buick ever do a comp controlled ignition? I'd like to have that controlled by the FI set up too.

    Thanks guys

    TA can offer their intake manifold with injectors, fuel rails, etc., to do an FI setup.

    If you have an existing SP-1, you can have that converted as well.

    I use the FAST (the old SpeedPro/Felpro design) computer, which is a bank-to-bank setup (not sequential), and it works very well. I would highly recommend it.

    You can use a variety of distributors- there is one made by MSD that comes most highly recommended. But all you really need is a distributor with a pickup, rotor and cap. All of the advance mechanisms (centrifugal and vacuum) get locked out. I started out with an HEI distributor, but the coil generated electrical interference to the pickup, so I had to switch to an external coil HEI (and eventually switched to an Accel distributor but I like the MSD better).

    Thanks Bob. I have been looking for progress per the TA website on their FI set up. I know those guys are pretty busy but the last time the FI page was updated was about a year ago. It still said the system was "Under Development" and news would be forthcoming.

    Is it an actual package they have available now? Any ideas on pricing?

    Thanks
