Hey everyone i have been here for a while and been lurking around reading and haven't been able to see what efi system/stand alone style
for a lightly modded 93 5.0 that i will be adding a turbo to later on. I dont know if i should use a stand alone system or a msd box and timing retard (digi 7 or btm set up) Just looking for opinons on what would be the better alternative.
Thanks

 

best thing to do is research what guys in your hp goal are running.... Don't skimp out on tuning software... Get something that will support your current goals along with whatever future ones you may have

 

basically right now I would just like to be able to tune better. in the future with the turbo I would like to make 500 or so at the wheels. and be able to still drive it

i was also looking at the summit boxes that have the boost retard option in them? Anyone have any knowledge about them?

 

If you're on a tight budget, you might look at the Thruster EFI from ACCEL DFI. You can get into a basic system pretty cheap, then add a WBO2/logger and upgrade to a "PRO" ecu later to get all of the bells and whistles of a Gen 7. I have a lot of customers having great luck with them.

If you have a bit larger budget, the XFI and Bigstuff 3 systems are also very popular. Let me know if you have any particular questions

summit box

i know this is a very old thread, I am getting ready to start the turbo work and am looking for retard option, so i dont have to suffer the poor part throttle driving from locking the timing out. I am looking for advice on the summit box with boost retard?

 

Re: summit box

It's a rebadged Mallory HyFire.

 

What about a SCT chip.

Would be a 500 RWHP would be an easy goal and you can pull timing when the boost comes on.
