AJ Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 well they could have done more to stay on the forefront of the fuel injection age. more and more people are going that way and they keep making junk carbs IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 well they could have done more to stay on the forefront of the fuel injection age. Dude, it's Holley. Thats like saying that Cummins should be investing more in petrol engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 AJ, my 93 Shadow has a Holley throttle body from the factory. A fair number of MOPAR and import cars did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Doug Flynn the head guy in the efi department upgraded my commander 950 ecu to support wideband before it ever came out for free , true story. He moderates the efi section over at http://www.chevytalk.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 that was a 93 though. look at all the aftermarket fuel injection systems that are out there and how many things you can do with them (FAST, Accel, Big Stuff3, ect.) and holley has the commander 950. its a nice system but not near up to par for the other systems. hell the stock GM PCM is more tuneable than the holley is. they haven't really inporoved there carbs in years. other companys have made huge improvements to there design though.

rl Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The GM PCM is more tunable than ANY aftermarket ECU, it just doesnt have the "frills" (2 steps, boost controllers etc). As far as total control of the engine given any enviromental situation the OEM's do it better. A lot of faster carb cars don't even use Holleys (though a lot use carbs based on Holley), but they where used for so long that there will always be a large market for them.

Trjackson Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It might just be corporate restructering. Same thing Donald Trump does when one of his hotels file bankruptcy. .02 Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so than the AEM and Motec M880? Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 When talking about engine control, yes, however as I stated they dont offer the frills you get with aftermarket ECU's. Now some of the more compicated stand alones come really close, but they are not something the average consumer would use anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
