Tested on 26's this past week to prepare for an event this Saturday. Here are a few of my runs with a special appearance by a Porsche that was hanging the front wheels and a buddy's turbo camaro
It’s taken a lot of trial and error but I think im in the sweet spot with the car. I’d like to eventually get in the 1.2X range to the 60 with it
Been slowly working up on a YouTube channel and have been focusing on a lot of walk throughs for holley tuning and setup. I have an CAN expansion module being delivered today and a few plans for the car over the winter. If you are into that kind of thing give my channel a follow! Ill slowly be uploading more racing videos, how to's and whatever other stuff I decide on.
In for seeing what you do with the CAN expansion module. I have one also, but haven't done anything with it yet.
Which one did you go with? I ordered the one from https://swap-smart.com/product/holley-boostsmart-io/ because P PJx5x pressured me. I have maxed out all 8 io's in my ecu. I plan on adding a driveshaft sensor, shock travel sensor, coolant pressure and whatever else I get bored and come up with. More data the better imo
I have the one from Holley. I've had it on my shelf for probably 2 years now. I didn't know there were other options.
Holley EFI 554-165 Holley EFI CAN Input/Output Module Kit
The Holley EFI CAN Input/Output Module can be added to Holley EFI HP, Dominator, Terminator X and Terminator X Max EFI installation. This CAN module will add eight inputs and eight outputs to the system, which can be used to control additional accessories, or provide critical sensor inputs...
Also made a bullhorn for the fanz. Over winter I plan on putting the drag wing back on as I was starting to feel like the car was getting loose on the big end towards the end of the season.

That one is probably a little more straight forward since its made by holley. Since we are engineers by trade I wanted to go odd the beaten path and give a smaller company a shot and see how this other one works. I plan to document it for others who may want to use it. With the harness kits it was about $200 less than the holley kit which is quite a bit and will help pay for the sensors I want to addI have the one from Holley.

IF you have any questions feel free to reach out. I know a lot of the oddball stuff is hard to find info on so I have done a lot of trial and error to get working. I have watched plenty of others videos for various stuff so I feel like this is my way of paying it forward to help others.
More parts comming in, at this point a percent of each paycheck of mine goes to

PJx5x.
Got married and the car made an appearance at the venue.
Upgrading from my tired 5.3 to a fresh 5.3
Will keep the old one as a backup since it’s strong and never skipped a beat.
Going from holley terminator to dominator. This should take my tuning abilities to a new level and collect way more data.
New sfi bellhousing along with other safety equipment to meet nhra rules
