The BS3 and FAST have many features available. These features are considered "upgrades" and those costs range from $100 to near $2000 when you want it all. The Holley unit comes standard "fully loaded" with nothing extra to buy.

I know FAST doesn't have these features, even in upgrades. I doubt BS3 has them either.

I'm sure both companies are re-doubling their efforts to bring some or all of these features to market, but for the time being, Holley has a winner. (assuming it all works ).

Default Holley

All I can say is it's about time!

This looks alot like the Accel Gen 8, but with more I/O channels (PWM + MVC). That's a really good thing when you want to use VVT and the like. I might have to switch & try this. Does anyone know if they have one beyond the test bench? Are their fuel & spark maps scalable? Who did the beta work for them? Going after the LS crowd should pay off big- BS3, DFI both took too long to bring a REASONABLE kit to market, leaving the EFILIVE & HPTUNER guys to eat up the street-tuner market. Oh well- let's hope this thing delivers (in the first quarter of 2010, of course).

JP- You are absolutely right; I really hopes this pulls Holley back into the fray. That said, I hope they haven't sourced them out to China. Most of the current manufacturers have paid a hefty price due to the lack of board quality. All that investment just to have trash delivered to your door. Ptoooey!

GOOD LUCK HOLLEY

They've had units installed in vehicles for nearly a year. I have the Dominator ECU running my 565" BBC w/ twin turbos, water/meth, dis and 4L80e. I've used many systems on this car including Cmdr950, FAST XFI and now the Holley Dominator.

Systems have been installed and tested in everything from stock LS1's, street and race turbo and nitrous applications. I've rode in the LS1 Camaro for quite awhile. I couldn't tell there was an aftermarket ECU controlling the powertrain. The startup, idle and driveability was that good!

Yes, the 31x31 fuel and spark maps are scalable. There is a specific scaling and warnings tab in the System Setup that allows you to configure the scale and enable caution and/or warning outputs.

Default EMS Microcontroller

ALL of these features are important, what about the "engine"

A great number of years have passed for those with "features" that if implemented would SLOW DOWN their EMS to
a "snails pace".

So, I always "do the math" first.

Can the chosen processor support their claims ?

ASK, "What processor is fitted" ?
Then ask Speed, MIPS, Timer/Counters, A/D bits, Degree Based, etc.

Thumbs up I wonder

This sounds pretty cool, wonder how much difference this would make on ZZ4 with aluminum heads,Hedders and MSD ignition, anything real noticeable?

What about older motors, like a 283?

The real advantage of EFI is cold start up, drivability, and better fuel economy. WOT power is rarely different between a properly tuned carb and a peoperly tuned EFI system.
