Default Experience with Holley Dominator EFI
Anyone around the Houston area experienced with the Holley Dominator EFI? Looking for someone to help me set it up as well as a crank trigger and cam sensor on a SBF.

We just fired up an LS1 in a notchback today with it. However, you lost me at SBF! LOL

I know my way around a Holley well but I don't know squat about SBF. I can point you to a guy who can remote in with a WiFi connection who can get you going in a few hours.

I have my Holley Dominator EFI system all set up. I cannot get the car to fire up. Cam sensor is getting 12v, crank trigger is getting 12v. I was on the phone for over an hour today with the Holley tech. They were closing so hes going to call me back Monday. I sent him a system log and he looked at the settings and said it was fine. He had me turn off the cam sensor (which I think he said turns it to waste fire mode). I also confirmed with him that the LS coil packs OEM GM harness that I have is plug and play with the Holley harness. I even turned the fuel pump off and sprayed some ether in the throttle body...it popped off. Very frustrated right now and I could use any help I can get.

Here is a run down of the motor/setup.

383 SBF
Twin turbos
Holley Dominator EFI
Holley EFI throttle body
magnafuel 4303 pump ( fuel pressure set at 43 psi)
160lb racetronix low imp injectors
LS Coil Packs w/ OEM GM coil pack harness
MSD flying magnet crank trigger with hall effect sensor (set at digital falling)
Price motor sports cam sensor (digital falling)
Holley 3 bar MAP sensor

I had the same issue. Check for fouled plugs. I swapped mine and did right up.

Ive got the car to start up, but then then dies. I think its all tuning from here...What do you typically charge to do a do a quick look to make sure everything is setup correctly and a basic tune to get the car to run/drive?
