When I clicked your link to Summit Racing, I noticed the Summit Racing EFI unit.  I didn't realize they had one.  Have you heard anything about their EFI?




 

YouTube has a playback speed feature.  I too often have it set to the max of 2x.  Also, I skip obvious sections of waste. I understand you.
Still, if I were looking at EFI I'd look at this because the ECU is separate so it could be mounted in an area of less heat.

I didn’t make it to 3 minutes of that video and had to stop.

2Carguys don’t want to take the time to rebuild/tune a carburetor and get timing correct.

And if you have a “6sally6” sized cam in it, you’re not just gonna start it and go in less than 15 seconds.

 
I had no intention of watching the video until you posted. Sheesh, instead of free parts they should be receiving free how-to advice on basic tuning.

The real question with anything Summit is who is really building it.  Everything branded Summit is made by someone else, and usually they are decent brands. 

  I heard FiTech is supplying Summits EFI kits. 
 

Since I got my pellet grill up and running again…I decided to try watching the video again.
I still had to fast forward.😜

Reliable EFI systems have been around for over 30 years.

Remember the supporting components to support EFI adds to the cost.
Items such as fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, inertia fuel cutoff switch just to name a few.
Be realistic about your use and see if it’s worth it for you.

I like the separated TBI and ECM due to under hood temperatures.

As an electrician, heat does not play nice with electronic equipment.

I found a reference that points out that the Summit EFI looks like the EFI from a company called FAST (Fuel Air Spark Technology).

FAST has a good reputation from what I've seen/read.  My only real aftermarket experience was years ago with an ACCEL DFI system.  I was not impressed.

I have one (first gen) on my mild 289 and went 8k miles in 30 days and even saw 6sally6. have had for almost 3 years now but it hides under the stock air cleaner. Also am running ther in tank pump kit

Did you have a carb on same set up to start with?
Do have the distributor set up too?
I bet it gets better gas milage.
 

Yes billy I started out with a Eldi carb but knew the new motor would like the EFI better so I went for it. I have the Holley intank pump, I run a dual plane intake without a spacer, have ported heads 9.5 compreson, long tube headers  and get 17 all over the USA on regular gas. My dissy is a new stock with pertronix.
