You would have to add a separate ECT sensor. You can't share them because they are resistant operated. A MAF isn't used with the Holley. SD uses MAP, VE, RPM and throttle position for primary fuel calculations. Alpha_n (numeric) just uses throttle position and rpm for fuel calculations. This helps engines with large cams, mostly at idle when the vac (MAP) is bouncing all over the place and very low, to get a steady supply of fuel.

What else would need sharing in a setup that the stock PCM is controlling the trans?
No MAF and the Dominator can control a 4L60E or 80E.

It is just fantasy for me, too, because of the price. But in my fantasy I would have the stock PCM control the trans to save money by not buying their trans harness.


But how would this be possible if the Dominator is hogging all of the engine sensors?

Doesn't the trans use ECT, for example, to raise the shift points when the engine is warm for faster warmup? And wouldn't it use the crank sensor for RPM?

Don't think ECT is used for the trans, just trans temp. Both heads have the ECT ports anyway. I would think you could split the crank and cam signals as long as both ECUs are sharing a common ground. MAP and IAT are easy to add more sensors if you needed them.

Price is more painful in Canadian dollars. This was my Dominator order list.

That's a lot of money. Hurry up with your build so we can hear your experiences with the Dominator.
