I've read a lot of good and bad reviews throughout the web, for the FiTech and Holley TBI systems. It seems like tech support and warranty support is poor for both of these companies. I don't think I've seen anything about the Edelbrock TBI. I was watching Graveyard Cars the other day and they installed dual Edelbrock's on one of their cars. Has anyone have any experience with the Edelbrock TBI systems? Does Edelbrock have a good tech support? I have a 74 360, stock engine. Thanks

My experience with Eddy has been poor , low quality alum , badly core shifted castings , carbs with inner walls never cast into place with Zero warranty .
I built a multiport EFI system using parts from different suppliers
I used SDSEFI controller , Eddy Victor intake predrilled with rails , Bosch injectors , MSD pressure reg , Accufab Throttle body , twin Walbro inline fuel pumps , it was crank triggered , came with a handheld tuner . The system worked perfectly !

This is way above my pay grade. There are so many systems out there. Some have been review and some you can't find any review. Thanks for you advice.

I built the system about 15 years ago , long before TBI kits were available or reasonably priced .
The SDS computer system is rated for aircraft so the standards & testing are through the roof , you simply cannot fly with any junk you decide to bolt on !!

FWIW i have a FiTech and it's been solid. As for tech support I've found you have to talk to the right tech to get reasonable info... but overall no complaints.

That's good to hear. I was leaning toward a fintech

Why the delay? Are they custom building it? Thanks for the reply.

No it is not custom built, it is listed in their catalogue. I ordered it thru Summit when things were discounted near Christmas time. I had Fi Tech got stuck, went back to carbs a year ago and no longer have faith in the Fitech. So the edelbrock setup looked very promising although I don't know when I'll get it. The hemi runs good with the 2 fours but was hoping F.I. would make it run better. By the way Fi Tech replaced the ECU to fix it but I didn't put it back on. 2 years and 1400 miles did the Fitech in.

I hear through the various threads that Fitech has tech support issues and the system doesn't last long. Thanks
