We will be installing a FiTech in a '70 Charger we are restoring at work. My plan was to go with a Tanks Inc EFI tank and pump.
Engine is a stock 383. Was thinking of using a Go EFI 4, and the Tanks Inc 255LPH pump. It's probably overkill but want to be able to upgrade for timing control and future engine mods if needed.

Let me know when you're ready for the fitech, I have the 400's here in stock if you're interested. 5% off every day. Also glad to discuss your ignition requirements...as these don't play well with OEM ignition components.

I'm running a holley blue pump to the FCC. I haven't had any issues withy my FCC, but that might be because my engine is pushed WAY BACK, so not a lot of heat gets to the FCC. Only issue I had was heat soaking my starter (nothing to do with FI tech or FCC), So I put one of those thermal wraps on the starter and haven't had another issue. Mine is still running well with not one issue.

I'd have to go with a 600 to get timing control correct? Not sure that the customer will upgrade to timing control down the road but it would be nice if the capability was there.
If not using the timing control a stock Mopar dist and ECU will work correct?
Morning,
You will have to upgrade to the 600 for timing control, yes. AND a pro-billet type distributor, Or running a MSD box inline.
These will NOT work with an OEM distributor or box. no, no, no. The only way to possibly make an oe distributor work and to wire in a msd box. and thats just for non-timing control. so thats double redundant IMO, and isn't a 100% success rate.
I cannot stress enough that the 40 year old design chrysler electronics do NOT play well with these. With timing contol, w/o timing control, doesn't matter.
if you Don't need the timing control, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a small cap HEI, or a pro-billet ready to run.
If you want the timing control, #1 you need a phasable rotor, which is only avail on a pro-billet. so that rules out anything oem.
and this can only be done with a small cap pro-billet. Be it a MSD, or one of the MSD-clones i carry. Both accept the 84211 rotor.
this link has all the ignition components for mopars that work with these. B, RB, and SB

I've had too many guys tell me how they were going to be the exception and make OEM mopar electronics work, like a lean burn distributor, or even an aftermarket pertronix or fbo work...only to fail miserably, or blame the unit, and/or end up ordering the CORRECT ignition components at a later date, which alleviates their problems.
believe me, i 100% understand wanting to save money, and use what you have, but my famous saying goes..."You're spending $1500 on this new efi and fuel system...do you really want to jeopardize it working by trying to save $100 on the correct distributor?"
UPDATE: After modifying PWM calibration per Fitech support, the pump in the command center quit again and concluded the pump is burned up.
Typical FITECH customer service, it's still under warranty, they will not return calls, they will not answer emails. I give FITECH an F-. I wish I would not have gone with them and stuck with name brand.

Have you considered ditching be command center and running an inline electric fuel pump, curious to see if that fixes your problems. Like i said before every negative comment/review on fitech has to do with the CC.
Yes, I have a tank with a sump welded to the bottom. I will resort to using this with the inline electric pump and return. I was skeptical of the FCC... I wanted to keep things looking factory appearance.
I sure would like to give FITECH the opportunity to redeem themselves with this situation I've been having with their FCC. Maybe they will reach out and send me Hyperfuel Surge G as a replacement.

This is why i offer extra support to pace customers that purchase through me. I have no issued getting through to them, and any minor issues are promptly dealt with. An in-tank pump is always the "best" way to go IMO. The FCC is an ambitious though, but i much prefer an in-tank setup featuring the new fitech in tank, or the holley in tank, or the aeromotive. The inline pump with a full return is also a good way of going about it. We even offer a rear mount bypass filter/return to cut down on plumbing.
Of course,
This is a Genuine GM filter, in a kit that allows a rear mount return. be advised these GM units are the ONLY ones we have found that don't pressure-creep over time....don't just source an autozone one similar, you'll be replacing it in a year.

Or... We sell the Holley version of the same thing. -8AN ports

we also have a whole pump/line/filter kit with the gm filter in it.

I like the GM kit, however, I'm running a 528 Hemi with about 650hp. Do you have a recommendation for that HP?
for a whole setup? or just for the filter portion?
I'd run the holley i posted above if you're just asking about a filter. It has -8An. even that monster will be fine with -8AN Naturally aspirated on EFI.
If you're asking what in-tank module...then thats this aeromotive. it'll feed that, and then some.

or...this is an inline pump, like for a sump, or cell, and frame rail mounting.
