Default question about VSS and Holley or FAST EFI systems

Does the stand alone Holley or FAST EFI system need input from a VSS?

Reason I'm asking is because I'm putting a 5.3/4l60e into my 1985 Toyota truck that is a rock crawler. It will have dual T-cases and getting the VSS signal to work properly with the factory GM ECM is kind of a pain from what I understand. I'm thinking about going with a Holley HP or a FAST setup for ease of change for possible future motor upgrades. And I don't really want to deal with getting the factory ECM tuned and retuned every time I want to make a change. I know I could do it myself with one of the different tuners (HPtunes EFI live) but I don't know much about them or how to do the tuning. I like the Holley and the FAST for the fact that it's harder to do something to screw up the motor. They seem to "self fix" the tuning issues.

Neither the Holley nor the Fast EFI system needs a vss signal to run the engine.

theoretically neither does the stock pcm.. All of those computers are going to need a VSS signal to run that transmission....

After some more research it looks like the best way to deal with the VSS is to use a aftermarket VSS set up that relocates it to the adapter between the trans and the T-case. Then use a 2 wheel drive tune if you are using the factory ECM. Looks like that's the way I need to go with this.

Thanks for the help.
