Cool, the values are known. IAT is LS3 based, map has data available. Will be watching for feedback on this system. Thanks

FYI, pretty much all of the pressure and temperature sensors can be customized. For example, you can also use pretty much whatever MAP sensor you want, so long as it produces a 0-5V output. It is easier to either use the standard GM parts or Holley's sensors, since they've got presets for all of those, but you are not limited to that.

Been trying to read a lot of the posts and maybe this question has been answered, but are any of the Holley EFI ECU's easy to swap the factory ecu with an F-Body? I ask because a local shop The Shop Inc here in Lincoln Nebraska has done MS3 Pro swaps on f-bodies (Sketchy Vert) and is able the run the factory gauges and basically car behaves like it has the factory ecu still. Where I've seen other ecu swaps and have to rely 100% on the little screens.

Would love to get away from HP Tuners and have a much better system.

You aren't reliant on the little screen with Holley, its just included with the Terminator kits. You can use a tablet, labtop, racepak, other Holley screens and dashs, really a lot of options for how you want the data displayed. Some offer molded dash/gauge replacements to hold the 7 or 12" digital dashes that you configure how you like.

You can do it with the Dominator and a good bit of time into custom tuning/wiring.

You can put Holley in anything with custom wiring and tuning. That’s not what he was asking about though, he was asking about a plug n play setup. We put Holley in all kinds of cars, they all one off installs though.

Just thought i would share.

This last weekend I wired up my rebuilt LS1 swap. This setup is so easy, anyone could do it. I cranked without fuel to prime the oil, and then let the fuel pump prime. On my first try to fire it started almost instantly. I am very impressed, especially for a decently aggressive cam. (231/234 .640/.590 112 LSA).Found idle right away and AFRs were not far off.

Awesome.

I'm still loving my setup. I have a couple hundred miles on it now, and the fuel is dial in great. I've smoothed the spark tables, and have the transmission shifting good too, now. Very impressed with this setup and how easy and straightforward it is.

Today, I celebrate my independence from HPTuners and my GM ECU.

If it's like the rest of the Holley EFI line the price will increase at the end of the year.

I've had a pretty busy summer, but this afternoon I made part 3 video for the Terminator X software. In this video I discuss some considerations that should be kept in mind when scaling the load and the RPM axes for the fuel and spark tables.


If you like these videos, please like and subscribe, and I will be more timely in making future videos.

That's a good point about axis rescaling, especially since I don't believe that there is any similar functionality in HPTuners--if you pick an OS that is set up for a two or three-bar MAP, you're stuck with whatever it gives you, which can result in a pretty bad loss of resolution. It is good that the Holley software allows for that in a lot of places, and it is much closer to what I am used to with Ford EEC-IV/V stuff.

Quick question about the alternator wiring.

so from what i see it needs a 12v source?

i have in my car whats called an ARC8000 switch panel which has 12v fuse and a relay can i just get the power from there?
