FAST Controller



The engineers at FAST™ have taken the XIM™ to a whole new level. The coil-on plug ignition controller, originally developed for use with XFI™ systems, is now available in a standalone kit. These kits will enable programmable control of the popular late model coil-on plug ignition systems, independent of the fuel delivery method or any factory computer. The standalone XIM™ can be custom tuned as desired with the easy-to-use adjustment dial pots. This bolt-on solution to coil-on plug ignition is the easiest and most reliable way to run a carburetor or EZ-EFI™ on GM LS engines. Complete kit, does NOT require XFI™ or OE computer. Ready to run, tuning optional.

You can go Carb and run a MSD



Chevrolet 262-400 Small-Block V8
VICTOR JR. LS1 (3500-7500 rpm)
For Chevrolet LS1 V8 Carbureted Applications
With an operating range of 3500-7500 rpm, this high-rise single plane intake is capable of supporting up to 600 hp. Like our Performer RPM LS1 intake, the Victor Jr. LS1 accepts a square bore carburetor and comes with an electronic timing module that picks up MAP, crank position, and cam position in order to drive the stock Coil-on-Plug ignition system. This module also offers a choice of several built-in timing curves, each tailored for engine displacement, cam profiles, and fuel grades. Includes a throttle bracket designed to work with 700R-4, 200R-4 and Turbo 350 transmissions. Most applications will require hood modification.

Installation Notes: Uses LS1/LS6 style individual port o-ring seals. Crankshaft sleeve #HPHP3795 and Flexplate #HPHP4004 is recommended when using a TH350, TH400 or 700R4 on a LS1; these items are available through Pace Performance.
