advice needed for ECM/reliable tuner close to me
HPTuner Cons:
-You'll need to buy a boost controller, maybe look up Boostleash or something?
If you want to have it tuned and you won't be messing with the combo again, the stock ecu is still okay. But if you decide you want to make more power, turn it up, who will tune it?
The reliability to me is the same, I have friends with the Holley Terminator who has put 20K miles on their cars.
I am using both as I mentioned and one thing I spent a lot of time on with my 2010 was the shift points. But the downshifts were something I ended up playing with a lot. Stuff like this if you dont' do it yourself means you have to tell the tuner, they update the tune and send it to you, or you bring the car over.
I run HPT in the 2010 head/cam 2010 Camaro and a Holley Dominator in the '67 LS turbo car.

He's gonna have to add all the wiring either way so it might as well be for something as user friendly as the Terminator setup, plus won't harness be labeled on the Holley where if he incorporates the harness from another vehicle, he's going to have to modify to work?
No question I'd go Holley if I was starting from scratch for his '73 Camaro build since he's going turbo.
If I already had the OEM ECU and say a harness built for it and I was going NA 400-450rwhp I'd consider using it.

Your build is close to mine, I live across the river in Md. Joe Simpson is in Waldorf, he has a hub dyno, actually has an online class he started, good for Holley beginners. There was a guy in N. Va, might still have his email, he remoted in and cured my first Holley build, when he lived down south, pretty sharp.
As said, lots of sharp guys can tune, some on this site, like Doctor Andrew. Ck out his build in progress.
Whatever you do, my advice is have your car ready, that means all mech. stuff working as it should, all conns solid, etc. You want them to tune the car, not have to repair it.

The most valuable part of Holley that I didn't see anyone list, is the safeties. The safeties can save you from either doing something yourself, or just a bad or weak fuel pump, or too little fuel Injectors, but you have to set them up. Learn it, live it know it. (Quick, what movie is that from???)
