1985 Corvette Fast EZ EFI 2.0 questions
Hello guys,
Longtime lurker here and recently completed a build last year on my 85. The car has AFR 195 cc street eliminator heads, comp cams 280xfi flat tappet cam, miniram, hedman headers, 1.6 scorpion roller rockers, cat delete, full exhaust, and a 2800 stall with a shift kit through the stock built trans. Due to a lack of decent tuning options for the 85, the car runs decent, but is mediocre at best in the hot weather with a tune from TPiS. I'm looking at the FAST EZ EFI 2.0 system as a remedy for the car's reliability and performance, just have a couple questions for those that may have already completed the swap. I'm aware the the FAST unit doesn't control ignition timing and a distributor switch is in order which is fine. I'm mainly curious what some people have done to control the torque converter lockup besides the 700 dollar unit from FAST. Also would like to hear any other experiences and potential hangups people have had with the FAST system. Thanks for any help!

I just used a torque converter solenoid and connector harness from Rockauto, probably $30-40 usd. I got a 20 amp on/off switch from my local auto parts store. Ran power from my battery keyed on power, 10 amp fuse and ran some wire to the connector. I used the power wire that goes to the fuel pump relay for the keyed on power. There is a slot in the auto console used for the manual transmission lock-up (not used in the auto cars).
You will hear a click inside the transmission when wired in correctly. Hobs switches are cheap off amazon/ebay, I didn't use the ones that I purchased yet.
