I took the LSA out and sold it. Way too much motor for that little car, put an LS3 with a hot cam in it.....
The Black heart system is mostly conversion parts, no EFI stuff. They offer engine mounts, exhaust, trans cross members etc., for trucks and other platforms. I'm using an E38 and T42 OE ECM and trans controller with a BP Automotive harness....

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron T, from Holley just called...drum roll....ecu is toast. N because its nothing we did(i guess they can tell if you fried it), he s pushing a new one under warranty for me. I ll have it in 2days!
Despite the rough couple of days going thru circles with the first few tech support guys, Ron T, is the guy to talk to. Him and Holley totally stepped up and took care of thier faulty product, with a very respectable turn around time from them recieving the ecu. Even during Covid 19. Despite buying the ecu bnib 2+ yrs ago and 2nd hand, they still replacing it. That is unheard of in my industry with service parts. Even my engine builder says that rarely happens in the aftermarket automotive sector.

I had to call Holley back in January and if I called at the "right time", I could get through in 15 minutes or so.
My problem was that the throttles wouldn't open more than 10%; I don't remember if the TPS Auto-Set failed too. In my case I had the brake switch on the wrong polarity and the ECM thought the brake was on. As a "safety" feature the Dominator limits throttle to 10% when the brake is on. (So no brake torquing and no burnouts!) I was sheepishly told that "some people" remove the brake pedal signal to the ECM to disable this "feature".

I'm actually not that surprised. The Dominator (and HP?) keep track of how many hours power has been applied. So they can easily see that you just installed it.

have you messed around on the holley forums much? I found a bunch of helpful info while searching for answers to some of my holley issues.
fwiw as much trouble as I had with my holley (bad wiring harness) i'm so blown away by all the features and the configurability of the tables and I/O's that I have bought a second termi x for my DD. sold off all my HPT and stock PCM tuning equipment.
got a spare termi x max computer on hand in case one takes a crap

Yes, i try to read what I can there. Im learning as I go. Waitn on my gears n trans pan. But eventually its going to a tuner. I will be hands on at some point. We did get my car up n running, but havnt driven it yet. It doesnt idle to well. Just got done fixing a couple leaks today. Sure wish I knew more so I could mess with it while waitn on dyno tuning. Im scared to hurt my motor, lol

Right now I have 2x Dominators and 2X HP ECU's and harnesses, 2x 7" screens and one 12" and harnesses. Before they were so popular I used to find them really cheap. I've bought and sold quite a few. Now it seems that enough people want them that the deals just aren't there like they were. The last one I picked up in February on E-bay. Complete avenger efi system (uses HP ECU) for $350.

Yea, i picked mine up for 1500$ bnib when I saw they are almost $2200 on Summit, I was scared. Especially when I found out it was fried. I think couple guys around here still have sources to pick em up for $1800 or so. Now im reading certsin expansions are gunna cost ya more to download and run. Like traction control.

the shift solenoid pins were wrong in my first one. the second one had the internal sensor ground going to a an unused pin. this last one had the power wire swapped with the TFT signal wire.
all of this has been at the transmission end.
p.s its the same harness for 60/80e they just change the tune.
