Stock PCM vs. Holley is like shovel Vs back hoe for digging a big hole! lol, they will both get the job done, but which would you rather use?!!

I had a Holley Dominator system all bought for a project truck I was gonna build, then the motor, trans and a bunch of other stuff for the truck got stolen . Took the wind out of my sail for it so I sold the truck and the Holley. I though about keeping it for the next build but figured by the time I go around to another project, they might have a better unit out or revised version.

We did use it on my Buddies truck and it made tuner out of him with no real tuning experience!

I think I'm gonna go with a non-intercooled turbo blow through carb on my new project 69 c-10 5.3/th350 just to be different. If I'm not happy playing with that, then it will get a Holley on it for sure!!

exactly why ppl love the holley. it makes everyone look like they know what they are doing with a pcm

its to easy to sit back and let the holley tune it for themselves vs learning the actual ins and outs of tuning

i just saw your injector thread and that reminded me that you can run either high or low impedance injectors with the holley, or both! big plus for me...

i wish! i'm looking into the dominator EFI for my 69 camaro. nearly 3k to have it controlling the motor and trans. DAMN!

i'm no tuning guru. i know enough to break **** lol. that's why i LOVED the carburetor with a wideband. all i had to worry about was air, fuel and spark. too damn easy! there are just too many damn tables in efi/hp for me to memorize and screw up. Kyle, i think you'll love the blow through setup. make sure to spend you money on a good carb though. too many people get discouraged with the cheap knock off blow through carbs.

Looks like they have a 5.7" touchscreen or the 7" Digital Dash. It can also interface with Racepak(different company). And you can run their universal LCD gauges off of it. The Terminator info page says, "Optional Race Dash coming soon." So not sure if they are referring to the Digital Dash or something that is still coming.

Crappy skinny videos but...

Yeah, a good blow through carb is about a grand plus I got to buy a couple hundred dollar hat or try and build something... Still haven't talked myself into the carb, might still do the Holley, ...

I don't know what this means, I am wondering if the Dominator uses MAF. Another question concerns sensors that both the stock PCM and the Dominator need. The only one that I can think of, when the PCM is controlling everything besides the engine, is ECT. Could it be piggybacked, or would another sensor need to be added? What else would need sharing in a setup that the stock PCM is controlling the trans?
