This is the best car review I ever seen.
Thank you!
Love your story, You made me happy being a part of your Nova world. THANKS For Sharing !
Thank you!
This is your best video by far awesome tips! This is going to help a lot of people 🤓 love the drone shots! Looking forward to the next video
Thank you!11 much appreciated 👍🏼
Really enjoyed this, perfect balance of talking and driving. Would love an update on the Nova and Chevelle.
Nice looking Nova! I like the rims, tire fitment and hubs....it has that eye-catching look with LS power
Awesome video my favorite so far 👍🏽 keep it up!!
This car is sick! Good work man! I am glad to hear someone else is enjoying their Fitech. I absolutely love mine.
Thanks man!! Can't believe you don't see more cars with the Fitech system!!
I completely agree. For the amount of people buying new intakes, fuel injectors/rails and wiring harnesses it seems like it would be a hell of a lot easier. Plus the self tuning feature is awesome
Sweet ride I’m an old school carb guy but I may give the Fitech a try Great video
well this sure sold me !! doing a 6.0 /L80 in my wifes 71 ,very nice job
Nice ride!! Really thinking about using this on my 71 c10! Looks very simple to program and looks it runs very well!
Love the video Rob! Keep them coming!
Thanks Brother!!
Beautiful Nova!! Nice video 👍
Keep up the good work young man!!
Awesome ride - I'm finishing up a 70c10 with the same motor and EFI. I went with the 750hp setup as I'm planning on adding a procharger this summer. Your car sounds sooo good, I can't wait!
Best video on an LS swap bro. THANK YOU I'm about to get another NOVA and do this to it.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad I could help!
Bro thanks for the video. I have a 72 and currently diving in…. Thanks !
My God, that is a nice Nova. Really crisp throttle response!
Very nice Rob, looking forward to my fi tech set up
Goosse Performance thanks brother!
Nice car and great video!
Beautiful setup.
Cool video, great content, good job!
Thanks brother
Nice car that’s exactly what I would do hopefully someday I can get one
Your camera angles are awesome, especially with the drone. And yeah I'm planning an LS swap on my channel, I'm thinking on going straight Hptuners, and just doing it all myself though. But great video man!!
Thanks brother! Most people use Hptuners I have EFI Live but never got the hang of it. Good luck with your swap 👍🏼
Beautiful car man I love it
Thanks!
Nice ride have the same in my Camaro cant stand that they put the cords on top I talked to them at hot August night s and they said they're working on it also a bigger screen
Well done sir!
Great video love the power of your car ,i have practically the same set except is a 6 speed manual and not even half the power when i snap the throtel don't know why probably timing
Wow that looks like a lot of fun I’m a Ford guy that makes me want to buy a Chevy
Thanks brother!
Beautiful car.
very nice car i love my 1955 chev 210
70050 unit will control the trans , you just have to buy the harness. Part no 70050-5......I picked up my harness for $135 from LSXceleration. ....
Are you sure of that ? Just need the harness for trans ? There is one for sell used....didnt buy it because of that
@@vvvv-lu8zi yep, that's what I did, bought the 70050 when I was using a th350 then swapped in a 4l65e and just had to buy a $135 trans harness from LSXceleration
@@trentdawg2832
Thank you for making that clear. I wasnt sure I made the right move on my purchases.
I didnt want to buy the 70051 because I was going to try and use the wiring off of the oem harness for my 80e and also save $233 doing so. I had to search hard for the fitech trans. controller. Bought that and ended up just saving $80.
Dope video
Thank you!
Good looking nova new subscriber here
#inspired great job with the video👍🏾
question. at 10:18 in the video you start your engine and quite a bit of moisture comes out of the exhaust and onto the concrete (see it spotting pretty well). does this still happen?
I ask because I just installed the 70004 w/trans on in my 1970 Camaro. I have an LQ4 with Trickflow heads. when I installed the FiTech I had pulled the heads to deal with a lifter that was leaking down. after I put it back together a few days ago I fired it up and immediately saw the moisture. First thought was panic that I had a problem with head gasket. I have only fired it up 2 more times, and it still is doing this. I do know a properly running engine has H2O to a small degree out of the exhaust, it just seemed excessive... at around the same amount of yours.
Any info you can provide would be greatly helpful. And actually, your video helped me.. I forgot to change the option4 under transmission and it would not leave 1st gear. Thanks already for the help.. :)
this made up my mind im going with this
Awesome you won’t regret it
@@TheLq4chevelle hello do you mind sharing the part# for your fitech system
What instrument cluster is that??
Very Clean
Did the fitech harness have the accessory wires to hook up the Dakota dash?
I have a car very similar to yours, but wheels are 14", I love the stance of yours, I think they are 15"s. What size of wheels and tires front and back?, please and thaks for the help!!!
Oh wow looks like the 2 freeway near the eagle rock mall haha
I can’t find it anywhere but does this system use a MAF sensor?
Awesome vehicle Sir...happy to knw Fitech setup worked out great...curious where you located intake air temp sensor onto fitech harness..??
Is there cruise vontrol capability?
What cam do you run ...love the sound type of muffler?
what dash/instrument cluster is that?
Which headers did you buy for this setup?
Hey man I'm looking at a Nova really similar to this. Love it. What size wheels/tires do you have on it? The stance is absolutely perfect.
They are 15x8 in the rear
I've got a chevelle and the motor is nowhere as smooth as this. I think my pistons are rough. How can I smooth them?
How has the system held up over time? I'm doing a 6.0 swap into my 69 firebird. I have all the stock harness and ecu but this seems easier and much cleaner.
What kind of headers are on the nova? And did you have any fitment issues?
What type oh horsepower are you getting with this set up?
Your screen prompts are slightly different than mine, is that a 70050 system. ...
I live in L A, I would pay you to install my Fitech 70051 on my c10, 5.3, its already running with the ecm, but I am ready to install a 4l60e and no tuners to be found,, please let know
Awesome video and thanks for the info. I am currently in the middle of a LS swap on my 68 Firebird and trying to decide on what engine management system to run. I decided on FItech before i started swap, but i have ran into alot of bad reviews on this system, but it seems to be on the carb install systems. Have you had any issues on this system since installation?
I haven’t had any problems. it’s a little complicated to fine tune but it works good right out of the box. I’ve installed 4 of them and only 1 out of the 4 was dead on arrival.
@@TheLq4chevelle Got a question, since this system only comes with one O2 sensor how did you install it? I have dual separate exhaust on mine from previous engine installation can I get by with just installing the sensor on one side?
Very nIce setup!.......with it being a sleeper you must have some fun with other cars. :)
Just wanted to ask what are the cam specs you put in your iron LS3? I'm going to fire up a similar setup with a mild 566/568- 222/224/112 cam and any pointers/settings you can suggest for my initial firing up would be appreciated. Its a fresh engine stick car, thanks.
That cam should run awesome. Make sure you bring up oil pressure before firing it up I always disconnect my fuel injectors until I see oil pressure. And I use a diesel oil on first start up
Hey man love the video what kind of gauges are those?
Looks like the Dakota digital ones
I’m doing a very similar swap. Love your nova. I have Dakota digital in my Camino. But that has a factory ecm and I just plugged the OBD to it. Did the fitech signal wires play nice with the Dakota digital?
That’s how it is on my chevelle too. Yeah the Dakota digital picked up the outputs from the fitech no problem
Did you hook up tac wire to Dokota
very nice video. what is Lokar Throttle cable part number? how long is the cable? Thanks
It’s 36 inches part number XTC-1000LS1
Is that a stock engine?
What's the specs on your rear wheels? I'm also going to be running an 8.5" in my 72, and I just ordered some 15x8 5.5 backspace through wheel vintiques. It was a shot in the dark the way I ordered, so I'm hoping they fit well.
How did they fit, I'm thinking ordering the same ones
Where's your iat sensor threaded into
Tight👍
👌🏼
Question are you using your stock radiator I think you mention it on your video by the way very nice car lots of power will appreciate if you have the time to answer
Yeah stock radiator it cools just fine! I appreciate the kind words
love the car,the sound what muffler are you running?
Clint Bell thanks! I’m running true dual 2 1/2 exhaust all the way to the rear bumper with Dynomax mufflers
im buiding a 66 nova with a simular set up and im picky on how i want it to sound,and im very impressed with your novas sound & i love the sleeper theme.
Clint Bell awesome I love the 66 body style. I’m building a 63 nova sport coupe just not sure what direction to go.
@@TheLq4chevelle is this a true dual with a crossover?
Going from a built 454 to an ls I would just want the mpg and easy of use.
i was looking at the dynomax website and they offer a few different models of mufflers,do you remember your specific model of muffler?
Super turbo 2 1/2 in 2 1/2 out.
Thank you !
Very nice ride! Why didn't you "T" the hydro boost return line?
I had it with a Tee the steering and brakes felt horrible
What did you do for your fuel pump
In tank walbro 400 with a tanks inc tank.
Hi Who did your ls swap I’m looking for somebody to do mine ?
daniel lomeli my best friend do most of the work for me. I just told him what to do.
Where did you mount the computer?
Cameron feltz it’s hidden in the inner fender
What alternator are you running? Did you have to run a power wire to battery or starter ??
I’m running a stock truck alternator. Ran the 8 gauge wire to the starter.
Right on thanks for the reply
i want that dash
How is the system working now? Any problems?
It’s still working great! No problems at all
What kind of mufflers do you have?
Dynomax Super turbo
👍👍👍👍👍and❤❤❤❤❤
Are u still running fitech
Dallas Thomas yes sir
That's Glendale
Can't wait to finish my 69 nova ..hope a girl walks up to me and ask me to wash/dry my car lmao
Yea.....actually I do mind.....lol send that girl walking!!!!!!!!..........hey how did she end up in the passenger seat!!!!!!
10:12 Hook up declined.
awsome video hermano, what size rear wheel and back spacing do you have? i have a 70 Nova BBC MUNCIE 4 SPEED i want to change from the Cragar wheels to the stock set i have a set of 14x7 with those same hubcaps. czcams.com/video/TCop63EZx9M/video.html heres a quick video of it
Nice ride brother and really good advice- as far as "nice nova can i help you dry it?" I'd be like hell yea if you get down to the bra and panties 😀
