Power and control. Those are two things that factor large into human life but the are the most important factors in making horsepower and enjoying your race car or hot street car these days. Power is self explanatory. It’s what shoves you in the seat, it’s what’s gets you a win light, and it’s what separates you from the other guys. Control is become a huge deal in modern hot rodding. With more and more cars and trucks using complex electronics to manage engine functions it seems like sometimes the hot rodder has been left behind. That’s completely false and companies like FAST are working super hard to prove it.
They have debuted this killer valve timing control module for Ford Coyote engines that now allows the ECU to control cam position. Previously the came had to be locked when using a FAST EFI but now a new world of control and horsepower making ability has been unleashed for users of the popular system.
Hot rodders left behind by technology? It hasn’t happened yet thanks to products like this one!
FAST® Valve Timing Control (VTC) Module For Ford Coyote Engines Allows The ECU To Electronically Control Camshaft Position
Memphis, TN – This new Coyote valve timing control module and associated harness provide a plug-and-play interface between the engine, FAST® XFI SportsmanTM and an XIMTM ignition module.
The FAST® Valve Timing Control Module allows the ECU to control the position of Coyote engines’ four phaseable camshafts. The intake and exhaust cam position is separately tunable through C-Com® software with tables for position vs. RPM and load. This provides a simple alternative to having to open up the engine to install mechanical locking devices on all four cams when switching to FAST® aftermarket fuel injection. Since this VTC module is an electronic solution, the cams don’t have to be fixed in a single position. The cams can still be moved to maintain the broad powerband allowed by the phaseable cam system. The VTC Module allows for full, dynamic control of valve overlap, allowing the tuner to get their desired sound at idle, while still maintaining great off-idle torque and drivability. It won the runner-up position in the Best New Performance – Street Product category at the 2016 SEMA Show.
