Which EFI to buy!? Edelbrock Vs. FiTech

What is the best electronic fuel injection?!? I’m comparing the Fitech Go Street 600HP to the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4. I’ve been running the FiTech EFI on my 1975 Ford Bronco for the last two years and I have loved it. In that time, Edelbrock reached out to me and asked if I would give an honest review of their new EFI system and I agreed. There was no sponsorship, but in complete transparency they did send me this unit for free.

**NOTE: If you buy a FiTech from Amazon, buy it from FITech, not a third party or FiTech will not be under warranty if something goes wrong**

In this video, I covered 6 things that you should consider when purchasing any Electronic Fuel Injection system.

Smart move on the FelPro gaskets. For the readers, DO NOT use the Edelbrock gaskets. I installed my Pro Flo4 on my Bronco using the Edelbrock ones.... later that night a bunch of guys on the forums told me they leak and are garbage. 2 Failed O2 sensors later, i pulled it back off and used the FelPro's. No more leaking coolant into the exhaust ports. The Edelbrock gaskets split and leak almost immediately.

Thanks for not letting the trolls and the haters deter you from making great videos!

I went with Holley Sniper TBI. The handheld unit is ok but I primarily turn with my laptop. I've been super impressed by the power and drivability compared to a Holley 650 vacuum secondary carb. I'm an Edelbrock guy but I wasn't ready to go full multi-port yet. All I did was pop off the carb and slap on the throttle body. Next on my list is an entry level vortech centrifugal supercharger. That should put me at the limit of my 650hp Sniper unit.

Contemplating making the switch from carb to FI, this was the first vid that I watched. Very informative and helpful. Thanks

Thanks for the video. I watched a few of your videos in August 2017 when I was installing my go Street 400 on my 66 Mercury Comet with a 289. I went from a two barrel single exhaust to a 4-barrel with dual exhaust to the fitech with a big radiator and electric cooling fan in about a six-month time frame. The biggest power booster was the fitech. I went from 10 MPG with the two barrel to 13 MPG with four-barrel and dual exhaust to 16 MPG with the fitech. I have been leaning it out over the last two weeks trying to improve my gas mileage. Today with the AFR at 16 to 1 for 3000 rpm cruise, I was at 16.5 MPG. My goal for the car is 20 MPG when I install an overdrive, so I think I'm on my way. It seems to pull the same MPG with or without the air conditioning on. I just set the 3000 RPM CRUISE AFR to 16.5:1 today - we'll see if it makes a difference. I'll drive this configuration until It breaks, and then its a three to four hundred horsepower crate motor and multi-port. Keep it up. I enjoy the videos.

This is interesting to hear! It sounds like EdelBrock has really stepped their game up! I'm more than happy with the Sniper but if I had to change, I would definitely look into Edelbrock now.

[keithswiercz]

I'm surprised you didn't mention for the extra say 300 for the edelbrock, you now have port injection. That makes a huge difference also. Great vid.

I install the FITECH go street 400 on a 75 Bronco with a 351M making 300hp, I had all the same heating issues and controller fail and ecm fail which had to be sent back to FITECH. I solved the heat issue by venting the hood with a scoop. It lowered the engine bay temp by 35%.
FITECH customer service was just horrible to deal with. I installed the same unit on a 44 GMC with a 350, same thing, hand held controller failed. In my restoration shop, I will be trying the Edelbrock and the FAST EFI systems before I waste anymore time and money with FITECH. Thanks

I'm glad to hear this. I bought the edelbrock pro flow 4 for a small block chevy for my 85 firebird, but haven't switched to the v8 yet.

Back in my work days, the company I was with expanded into the US market. Our product was more exy than our competitors. But we answered the phone. I was amazed at how many of our customers had horror stories about being hung out to dry by previous suppliers after they bought the product. It's made me really cautious about buying stuff from US businesses. So it's really great to hear about your experiences with Edelbrock.

[vigilante]

I have the Fitech Go 600 in Australia, and agree with everything you said. Ive been lucky "so far" and had no issues at all. I have Holley Fuel pressure reg, and Aeromotive intank pump and not using Fitech for timing or fans. The less the ECU has to control, the better in my opinion. MultiPort injection is way better (edelbrock) than the Fitech is. If i ever have problems with Fitech I will look at a standalone system, as Edelbrock dont make a kit for Cleveland V8 as yet. The ECU does need alot of air to keep it cool, particularly in summer. I have installed a hood vent to try and add more air into the engine bay.

First things first...love your videos! Second...thanks for your honest opinion of the two products, even though I feel it is not an apples to apples comparison. Third...I’m running the FiTech 400 HP with command center. I purchased it two years ago and installed it two weeks ago on my 1969 Ford F100 with 1971 351w. My handheld controller stopped working yesterday. It doesn’t work when plugged into the ECU or laptop...just black screen. I was able to complete my engine break in before the handheld stopped working. I’ve sent FiTech a message for tech support help and going to reach out to Summit (where I purchased it) and see if they are able to assist.

Nice Video, Nice to see honest review . Still looking at all the different efi systems . Cheers

So glad your channel popped up in my search for Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 info! I appreciate that your experience applies to any older classic ride, not just Broncos. I have a '70 C10 ( not a Chevy snob, I think Fords are bitchin" as well) and am starting down the same path with fuel injection. Already have a Boyd rear tank w/ internal FI pump installed and had debated on some of the other brands, like FI Tech for my SBC. The installation video and the follow up comparison have been excellent and have certainly cemented my decision to go with Edelbrock. Your video is refreshing, with the (sometimes ugly and pricey) problems out there for us all to see. No fluff, just practical help and advice. I wish you continued success on your project and your YT channel. Oh yeh, I subscribed too :-)

[Skeeters-garage]

Man, am I glad you did this comparison. I was trying to decide between the both for my 302. But Iv been leaning towards the Edelbrock

[kellykonoske]

No accounting for 60 years of fuel management experience! Edelbrock all the way. Todd the retired trucker.

[albertopacheco]

Great video I have so been looking forward to this review on edelbrock pro flo 4 only thing missing was fuel mileage but great video thank you👌👌

[eddierodriguez]

Awesome vid.. alot of good info there. when i first saw your videos on fietech i got persuaded to buy it. it say brand new in box for over a year (it was for one of my many projects). when i finally got around to start working on it i came back to your channel to find out that you had many problems with fitech. at that point i posted it for sale. i figured im going to loose even more money if i install it and it dont work.. i ended up loosing about $300 on it. im glad edelbrock hooked you up with this. i will keep an eye out for a follow up vid 6 months down the road.

[timbjork]

Makes me feel good about my decision to go edlebrock. Not like I'll be able to run it for another 6 to 8 months but I will have it on fresh 347 stroker. I enjoy your enthusiasm for the system on how well it help make it a hassle free driving exsperiance so far.

[spamspam]

Thanks for the vid. It's really informative. The only criticism I would offer is that you compare the power of the units, yet you did a cam swap and didn't have the ability to retune the FITech. The Edelbrock was installed and tuned on the new cam.
