FAST offers a truly comprehensive modular package that includes its Big Mouth 4-Barrel Throttle Bodies, Precision-Flow injectors, professional quality wiring looms with labeled connectors, ECUs, engine and transmission controllers, LCD touch screen dashboards, as well as bolt-on performance parts such as single plane manifolds and distributors for almost all US V8s and other engines. The result is a complete and matched package that gives an assurance of quality and reliability, proven with decades of experience. There are 4, 6 and 12-cylinder systems available, FAST has the components to adapt virtually any engine to state-of-the-
John Sleath reports a lot of interest from Jensen and other classic owners. In practice, a Jensen’s usability, reliability, performance and mpg can all be significantly improved with this level of fuel control and engine management; it will transform a car’s tractability into a modern car.
So, what happens when you turn the key? If this is a retrofit to a Jensen Interceptor for example, and you’ve learned the ways of dealing with the idiosyncratics such as: how many times do I pump the accelerator?
A full FAST conversion will give you all the benefits associated with fuel injection plus fully mapable ignition, dataloging and even traction control. These features are a real bonus for high performance applications whether for classic cars, motorsports such as drag racing, high-end kit cars such as Ultimas or off-roaders equipped with small or big block Chevrolet engines for example.
If you want to become a weekend warrior, with the FAST system you can even run two stages of nitrous oxide and datalog everything. It’s flexible too, the system can also accommodate future performance upgrades in the future, such as a more aggressive cam or even turbocharging, with boost control and anti-lag features.
John Sleath ‘found’ FAST 12 years ago when he was trying to achieve optimum performance with carburettors for his supercharged Saab. Then John installed a FAST injection system and the results spoke for themselves and he has been installing part or complete FAST systems on many of the cars that have been to John Sleath Race Cars since.
“The improvements in performance potential become massive if the motor is turbo- or supercharged;
“The system looks good too. From the loom connections right through to the individual throttle bodies and because it is a modular system that can be individually tailored, it has the look of a factory installation under the bonnet.”
Whilst FAST product design doesn’t compromise on performance and quality; cost-wise it is still an inexpensive package there is sufficient evolution and value engineering in the product design. The cost for a base kit for a V8 starts at around £1400, with ECU, sensors and loom around £1700. With injectors and fuel pump, a full conversion would be around £3000.
