Default holley HP or factory ecu

Holley HP or factory harness for boost?I have a foxbody with a built 6.0 and power glide I've got a factory harness made for stand alone but found this on here for around 1400 Holley HP Efi 550-602N and 558-400 I/O harness.Just wondering if it's worth the change.I have not got car running yet or put the wiring in cause trying to fig out if I should just use factory or go with something like this.Im looking for around 700 hp.What are most of you guys running factory,fast,bigstuff,or holley

I run the factory.

If I had to run an aftermarket setup, I would run MS3x.

factory here but leaning towards MS3pro as the want for features like traction control, boost control, alky spark and fuel tables, anti-lag etc...

lotsa people going real fast with every system.

You haven't actually said what your setup is.

If I remember correctly, you have everything you need, if its a 24 rel engine and rear cam sensor-is it a used kit, $1400 is a good deal if it has the main harness, and the LS1 harness
the 558-400 is for the 4 input/outputs, loose ends to wire to what you want

Don't worry about spending the $100 on the I/O harness. Do a google search for the connector/terminals and build it for about $15. I have the Holley on two vehicles and love it.

Its nothing special. A lot of the connectors/terminals you can find sold in bulk amounts really cheap and modify it however you'd like.

Holley has been working great for me. Its really nice to have a wideband, boost controller, two step, overboost protection, etc all in one box. Comes out cheaper then a stock ECM once you add it all up.

$100? Poke around enough and its $60 shipped and comes with enough wire to circle a car twice.

Yeah I'd never buy their harness ever again. Total waste of money.

Default ECU-882C-x

I manufacture the Redline ECU-882C.
This EMS has all the features you ask about and more.

One such is "on board" MAP and BARO sensors, two separate sensors, used 100% of the time required for Off Road Racing.

Would you like more information, pricing is equal ?

all of them work

mostly boils down to who do you know that can help you

do local reputable tuners tune/support what you want to use

do you have the time to learn how to tune it if none of the above?

i feel like those are even larger than functionality and price
