Before you buy a TERMINATOR, TERMINATOR X, or HOLLEY HP. You need to watch my video
on what you dont know when you buy their kits, and what they DON'T TELL YOU. I break it down for you real simple. FIRST OFF, I love HOLLEY and all there products. I use them 95%
of the time on my customer builds. With Not one NEGATIVE thing to say until now. But I'll
get over it, And be smarter next time. I have a turbo build coming up and bought the most
expensive Bad ass Kit they have, it came with alot of SURPRISES... I will say there is nothing
out here that can top this control system.

I agree. I try and tell people all the time. You DO NOT NEED those fancy kits. also don’t need to tear apart a harness to pull out the rear o2 sensors. How many cars/trucks/ motorcycles have random unused plugs under em? Just tape Em up outta the way.
But I digress. I agree that the factory modded harness is the way to go.

Holley sniper throttle body on my 502 ci uses like, less than 6 wires to operate.. Most of it is self contained.

O2 sensor, coolant temp senser, crank signal, battery positive and negative.

You have to remember that the OEM systems are controlling a LOT more than just the fuel injection though. My 0411 swap using a modified factory harness has more wires than that, but is also controlling the 4L80E shift points and TC lockup with different behavior fro 4wd and low range engagement. Its also running the ignition system actively using knock sensors and cam/crank position sensors. Mine will also control one of the electric fans based on AC pressure to ensure the AC is functioning well while sitting still. It is also controlling both electric fans based on engine temp, running the cruise control, changing engine/trans behavior for tow/haul mode, etc...

The nice thing is you can tailor these systems to do as much or as little as you want. You can have it as simple as your 502 build with just the 6 wires, or you can have almost all of the original factory functions and more. Either way, the EFI will give you the best efficiency and most power for a wide variety of conditions and situations without having to touch a thing... which is nice.

Carbureted is simpler in some ways, but is just more generic and can be a real pain in the butt if you live in an area with widely variable weather. When tuned for hot weather, it wont be quite right for cold, etc...

After my Sniper experience I wouldn't give the sweat off my balls towards another Holley product.

I disagree their stuff is that great, way overpriced and rushed to market yes, but definitely not the best.

Their advertising claim that their **** is "self-learning" is deceptive and an outright lie.

I'll stop there before I blow a gasket. I'll just say, I went back to Edelbrock and as expected, not one issue.

Nice background music in the video by the way.
