Default Holley Terminator LS Kit..anyone using it?

https://www.holley.com/products/fuel.../parts/550-609

Thoughts on this? I've been debating over this the last few days for my set-up and wanted to see if anyone else has one?

I have a flashed PCM and modded harness in my car now and thought about jumping on this.

I like the handheld screen and some of the functions it offers. Nothing wrong with my current set-up, I just want something a little different and easier to use.

I figure I can flip my current harness, PCM, and HPtuners scanner and recoupe about 20% of that investment.

I just got mine in two days ago. My car isn't far along enough to install, but the kit is nice and I'm very excited to try it out once the car is to that point! I have the 550-623 kit as I'm running a 4L80E and DBW.

Awesome, does the instructions by any chance list part numbers for the IAT / MAT sensor to use?

I know it's a generic run of the mill GM style sensor, but I am unsure what years to look for

The manual does not specify, you might have to contact Holley for that one.

Thanks, I bought the kit earlier :-)

Catching some slack on the other forums about spending the money on something like this when I have a "halfway" running GM PCM and modded harness.

Honestly, I had no choice but to run this setup for mine. I have a weird combination of Gen III and Gen IV parts, plus I'm running DBW with a C6 pedal and a 4L80E, and Holley is the only one who makes a setup compatible with all this. Worth every penny to me to not have to dick around trying to maybe make stock parts play nice together. Plus, I like the easy interface for a first time EFI tuner, plus the ability to upgrade to full Dominator software after some experience. Can't go wrong with this setup in my book.

That's EXACTLY why I went with the kit too. My motor is a Frankenstein of parts.

Engine and harness is 2004 DBW Silverado

Harness has been modded with the wiring for a DBC throttle body

Intake, throttle body and injectors 2000 camaro

Maf is for a 2004 truck

PCM is 2004 Express Van so I can use the DBC LS1 Throttle body

The flash on the PCM is a 2004 5.3 Express Van, but with the paremetors for the the LS1 intake, injectors and truck MAF

I guess if I did an exact LS pull out I would be in better shape, but I would rather go with a computer system that better aligns itself with the engine at this point.

I want to drive the car and feel comfortable driving it
