Running a rubber fuel line the length of the car like they did in the install video bothers me.

I've got one coming:thumbsup: From what i understand the rubber hose is required due to what is called "hammering" if you used a steel line. I think this is caused by the fuel pump being "pulsed in rapid succession". They are marketing this as a returnless system. I am going to run steel lines and use a return system back to the tank just so i dont have to run the rubber hose. Rubber hose full length of the car doesn't do it for me :(

Mark - For a old school 355 that's around 400 hp with cast iron 2.02 heads what's the appropriate Accel system?

At some point the plan (economy dependant) is AFR or equivalent heads. If that doesn't provide enough grunt I'll make it a 383.

An Accel Thruster, #77010W. Here's the beauty of something like this and the point I was trying to make on that post.
For about $400.00-$500.00 more you get a whole lot more tuneability. And although the Thruster will do a lot, you can upgrade to a Gen 7 for the ultimate in tunability for another $400.00. It'll run anything from a 200hp TBI to a 2000hp turboed whatever. There are better systems out there for the money than that MSD. I understand it fills a niche, but for what you get it's not as good of a deal as others out there.
Jmo.

Thanks

Thanks Mark.

Save your money - I've got a freshly re-done set of 190 cc AFR heads on the shelf with your name on 'em.... :D

After spending hours reading stuff on the net i decided to buy the Atomic EFI for my stroked 351. it arrives Thursday.

If all goes well I plan to start the install this weekend. My only issue is welding in the O2 bung since my car is at my house and my welder is at my old shop all packed up for our move. Since I can not register my car for a few weeks i may have to remove my header and take to a friend.

Il let everyone know how the install goes. I will try my best to take photos along the way and maybe some videos.

if the system works as designed i will be super happy. MSD is a great company so considering how these units are flying off the shelves it must be worth the wait.

Yeah, I'm going that route as well. Going to replace the carb on my ZZ-502 with the Atomic EFI and prolly going to have it control timing as well. Heck, maybe even use the fan control function as well.

The super early adopters are sharing really positive feedback, like "I never imagined my engine could run so well"!

Cheers and keep us posted on the results.

Got one on the motor, but haven't gotten to the point of firing up yet, from what i read reviews seem pretty positive. Can't wait to give it a shot.

mine just came today, i plan to weld the o2 in by Friday and weather looks like rain in NY for the weekend so its good time for me to do it.

I cant wait, the throttle body is so damn light on the EFI, i was expecting a much heavier unit with all the stuff thats packed inside of it.

Keep us posted. But I must say I'm surprised you decided to buy EFI twice.

Looks like we're about at the same point. I'm currently converting my DSE tank (carb) to an EFI setup by drilling out to accept pump tray and will internally mount the pump. Once that all gets sorted, the project should move along.

Any additional feedback on this set up?
