Haxby - been reading this thread with great interest. Have a tired carb setup now and looking to go to EFI over the winter. Have you ever done an 8 stack setup (Enderle or other)? Will the Holley work well for it and how do you setup an IAC and MAP with that type of intake? Thanks!

HaxbySpeed

Yes, I've done a couple. The Holley EFI works really well because it's such a flexible system. Stack, or individual runner intakes can be a bit tricky to tune, especially just off idle. Depending on your set up, and application, this may or may not be an issue. Because of the large throttle blade area, part throttle transition can take a bit of tweaking as a very small blade/TPS movement will allow a great deal of air in compared to a conventional throttle body. Also, the linkage needs to be really rigid and precise or you'll end up with large AFR variance between cylinders. Once you're past about 20% throttle all those issues go away and the distribution is excellent. If you size the throat, throttle blade, and length correctly, an IR intake will perform incredibly well and you sure can't beat the looks! To hook up the map sensor, and an IAC , there is usually a provision (either a bung, or port) below the throttle plates to plumb all the runners into a common block that you can have your MAP and IAC hooked to.

WOW Alex - Nice stuff there. Too bad everybody's not like you (I don't mean Canadian)!

I think I am finally ready to get back on the horse and put something together. Just a little curious about that "Terminator EFI" - what's the difference from the Dominator EFI.

Thanks Eddie, it's in a 56 Chev. Running the Dominator EFI controlling all engine functions, transmission, (adjustable shift points, firmness, lock up, manual mode with paddle shift), fans, AC, air ride, dual wide bands, dual knock, etc.
