Another example of Sutton having no clue what he was doing and simply spending Greg's money, because he could.
It's an excellent system, but not necessary as the Holley Dominator can be programmed to do the same thing...they just didn't know how.
Just to add to this, yes the Holley CAN be programmed to do the job. BUT we had Brian Macy here for the dyno and it is not possible to cut the ignition power to the coils on the Holley (his words), apparently. You would need to do it with timing or the throttle blade. which is not as fast. We discussed using the blip module in conjunction with the Holley to make the engine smoother especially on the down shift as it does really need to have the fuel trimmed down at that point to reduce the backfire and popping. Brian felt the blip box is the best option.

The blip box is adjustable, Taking to David from PPG tranmissions (who build the T56) you can adjust the time delay both up and down shift and that is something we did not mess with yet, we have the newest software version and are looking at it and what it can do. there are 3 different systems that all need to work together the Holley the Autometer dash and the Blip Box. so it will take some time and laps to get it all in sync for sure.

We added alot of accessories to the car engine transmission and diff coolers all with thermostats. the engine uses a inline manual stat and the trans and diff have temp senders in them that switch on a Tilton circ pump to pump it to the coolers. no need to circ it 100% of the time, that is all controlled by the Holley the power steering cooler is just in line and 100%

We will have another track /day practice /set up and will likely have Brian and Max (from Xineering) as he has offered to come and help with the set up, it is a team effort to get all the systems operating at their peak.

Hope that explains a couple things
