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.

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 add

Nice, I have been following your sharing of how-to videos on FB. I definitely want to program in the shift lite setup you use as I don't have one.
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 P 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.
