Holley Digital Fuel Injection

[streetstang67]

I'm looking for all the benefits of a late model efi setup. Less "warm-up" time, better gas mileage, good performance, less emissions, and everything else good about efi. Will this kit give me all that? Is there a better/cheaper way to add fuel injection?

"A Complete Stand Alone System...

designed to retro-fit carbureted, non-computerized, V-8 equipped vehicles and boats. Includes all components necessary for installation.

* Includes quiet, gerotor-style self-priming electric fuel pump that supplies a continuous flow of fuel through the system for maximum engine performance. A 10 micron screen filter located behind the pump insures clean fuel for trouble-free operation.
* A temperature sensor positioned in water jacket provides the ECU with accurate and timely fuel enrichment information for quick start-ups on cold engines.
* A distribution ring rests on the air cleaner flange to direct the flow of incoming air into the throttle bores for more efficiency.
* ECU box can be mounted on any flat surface within reach for easy calibration adjustments. System is easily switched for small-block or big-block applications up to 275 horsepower.
* Weather-pack terminals on all electrical connections insure water-tight, non-corrosive sealing.
* Dual 80 lb./hour Holley designed and manufactured injectors.
* Wide angle conical spray pattern of injectors maximizes power and efficiency.
* Pressure regulator is fully adjustable .
* ECM is user-adjustable to provide various air/fuel settings for: Idle, Accelerator Pump, Mid-Range, Power, Choke.
* 2D digital system is a microprocessor-based speed density system.
* Complete and detailed installation instructions."

I don't like it.

If I did go with I'd atleast go with the 4 barrel model but then again I would have more pony's to feed.

IMHO.... the Holley is a good kit, HOWEVER....
many of the desired effects associated with modern injection are possible due to port injection. If you go with a throtle body style injection (like the Holley shown) you will still experience some of the carb like effects, due to having a "wet" intake manifold (fuel atomised in the air). Edelbrock, Arizona Marine, possibly Holley, and others also make port injection kits, the only drawback is a slightly higher cost due to more parts (new intake, fuel rails, 8 injectors). But imho you will be MUCH happier with a port injection, over a throtle-body style. Better milage, more power, more precise fuel control, better cold idle, etc...

Have you ever thought of using a 5.0 setup? Easy of availability, low cost, everybody and their brother can burn programs for it, etc.... just a thought.

Good luck with what-ever you decide.

I've heard good things about the Edlebrock systems. They have kits based on their Performer RPM manifold as well as the Victor manifold.

for a good low cost, adjustable system you cant beat the holley system you are looking at. it is easy to install and set, and it is very reliable. yes a port inject tion system would be better, but it also runs about twice the cost.
