Good stuff. Thanks for the breakdown. I'm entry level Sniper on my N/A BBC just getting my feet wet with EFI. Your class has helped me a lot.

Your ad libs on the videos are amazing. They crack me up.

Legit information and great production quality these days! Excellent video brother!

Very good video, learned a bunch. Definitely appreciate you putting this info out for free!

Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I picked up a dominator because of this video.

Awesome vid Joe. Gonna go with Term XMax in my Fairmont. Just a simple 5.3 turbo/4L80

super helpful! I will be going from the terminator X to the dominator here in a few years with a new engine setup. good to know I can use the same harness etc

Thank you Joe! This helped me decide! I'm going with a HP. Has plenty of inputs and outputs for my hotrod pickup!

Joe Simpson. Thanks for posting. This was an informative video.

Well said 🤙🏼 Holley should hire you for ad's like this.

Fantastic info. Ty for making these videos.

I was going to go with a terminator x for my next project until I found out that they raised the price $400 for the system. I will stick with HP tuners and the stock computer.

I bought one of the last foxbody kits, terminator x. Haven't installed it yet. Just put a junkyard 5.0 engine back in it and gonna try to start it on factory ecu to make sure it's all good before I go into putting the terminator in.

love to hear your sniper recommendations

I think this video just made me solidify my decision in getting the haltech elite 2500

Yes do a video on all the sniper ecu I was looking at the sniper 4500 1500hp capable units

Enjoy your video lessons. I'm interested in which is the recommended conversion unit for a 24 foot jetboat, with 25 year old BBC 502. I run it variously from sea level to skinny water mountain rivers, some times operating in below zero late fall Temps. Primary goal improved fuel efficiency and reliable starting/running.

Thanks for clarifying on the difference 👍👍

Great video lots of info I didn't know thanks

Awesome info. Thank you!!

It’d be cool if you could go through the sniper EFI I have a 67 Pontiac gto with a 462 running 13.2:1 and was thinking of starting my journey with efi

I’m guessing the next video your going to make is the up’s & down’s of the Holley Expansion Module, you tapped on the subject but only just a tap and I’m interested in knowing what you down side of using one with a terminator x since I’ve had one for awhile now. Another thing is the in your connectability of the Holley dash to the terminator x e.a the button and input/output situation

Definitely cover at a minimum the xflow 1375 please. This is what I'm running and familiar with. Running single 7875 on a 351w

You have to fix your twitch, HAA HA , Great timing I was just on this merrygoround and I found the info helpful, to say the least!!

I got my HP/NTK mostly due to the fact I had zero plans for boost and did not need all the outputs. It is going in a footbrake bracket car, so I want to be able to control most of the junk manually. Really only output I have set up so far is the nitrous, but that is a long ways off before I play with that.

I am doing something unique. Going to see how high I can wind a NA Pontiac 400 if I go fully counterweighted crank, billet caps, h-beam rods, light pistons, dry sump and "whatever it takes" for a valve train (have to make a good guess as to what the bottom end will take in manual trans road-racing sports car type usage -first). I am going to fab an IR intake with a HUGE bank of outboard motor reed valves right at each inlet. It'll be fun to mechanically eliminate intake reversion. Also: -at below -peak rpm it'll store that air for the next inlet-opening event : D Because no reversion it will hardly matter if the injectors are timed or not. If I could more or less mimic mechanical constant-flow I would prefer it. I'd rather run shower head injectors anyway (yes - it would take a hell of a transfer function and real good intake stack temperature sensing requiring some processing speed and power) with altitude, temp, throttle angle, rpm and O2 inputs only. Any guess on if anything shot of a Dominator will accomplish this? Holley isn't much help . . .

Joe Simpson Good info man. So how would you compare Haltech vs Holley stuff

great vid! thanks Joe!

I’m looking at the terminator x max stealth Since I’m running a carb intake with a hat. I will keep the boost low but also needed the trans control for the 4l80e. I didn’t really see too big a price difference.

Awesomeness in overload 👏👏👏

Joe comin in clutch 🙌🏻

Hell ya, would love to see a video like this on the Sniper line up...especially for guys looking just to retrofit and upgrade something old, for reliability purposes.

Very helpful videos thanks

Have any experience with the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4? It's a fully sequential setup I was thinking about using one of my big block Ford

Hey, I'm having a hard time deciding on what system is gonna be the best or right. It'd going into a 2012 silverado, along with a lq9 with 4" stroker crank. It currently has a 4.3v6. It's not a daily driver or used to haul anything. Do I need a system that talks to the body control module, or not? I've looked at Fitech systems, but again, just not sure! Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

What would you recommend for a big block 454? I would like to find a old Accel Super Ram intake or maybe a GM performance ram jet intake. I'll be running a procharger as well. Also will have a 4l80e behind it, I currently have a TCI stand alone controller for that. But I wouldn't mind a ECU that controls all of it.

awesome video and lots of into! im looking to convert my 91 3000gt vr4 to e85 with a flex fuel sesnor. can i use any of these ECU to do that? will i need to re-pin or replace sensors since mine are older mitsubishi? any info would be great as im somewhat of a beginner!

Hi,…I have learned a lot and appreciate your knowledge. Question. If I get a Holley ecu and have the car tuned… does the ecu allow the tuner to lock the ecu/tune? Does the Holley HP/ dominator have traction control built into ecu or you have to buy another box?

Thanks for the info bro, I was looking at the 550 EFI for a first time buyer for my C6 Z06. I can pair this with the 6.86" or 7" dash as well correct? EDIT: Corrected the dashes do work on them lol sorry I forgot to rewind to that part.

I'm installing a 351W into a 70 Bronco. I can't decide if I should use Terminator X MPFI or Stealth TBI. Naturally Aspirated, 400hp and a manual transmission. Advice is welcome

My biggest gripe with X is the O2, i have to replace mine about every 4 months. Running 93 pump gas btw.

Great video, thank you. So, I purchssed the term because I didn't do as much research as I should have. It was the thing to get. It was 2023 and went with it. The car is going to be a street strip car, but heavy HP possibility. It's a f1x modular setup. Non drive by wire and non electric transmission. Am I f'ed with this setup? What I mean by that is, can it handle a 1000 crank modular vehicle setup? Also, the tuner that tuned my car was a complete rip off and now I'm wondering if he even fully tuned it or just let the term base tune itself? The Dyno sheet shows no air fuel ratio throughout the graph. Just shows hp and at what rpm. I can send the Dyno sheet. Also, I never got the handheld. Never knew it even supposedly came with one. So he kept it? Is that so I wouldn't see what he DIDNT DO, Or the lack of? It's been a heavy mess with this shop. They really screwed me. Anyways, should I find a used JUST dominator ECU and plug it in? Will the car run, or will I need to have it tuned again? Also, I have the Holley smart coils and digital dash. If you could help out, it would truly be helpful. Feel totally tooken advantage of. I certainly know much more now than I did then. Thank you. I did like and subscribe

I liked to know more about Edelbrock pro Flo 4 system put one on my 69 camaro want to tune it better.

Really all of the ECU's besides the Dominator need just a few more inputs Honestly I think a big help would be allowing some of the trans or DBW i/o stuff on the X max to be reconfigured for something else. I'm going X max with I/O expanders on both of my cars and will likely change over to Dominator later when I start adding all the extra features later. Only reason I'm not going regular term X is the trans control is needed. I also think if they made the HP have dual O2's and either trans or DBW control, but not both, that would help it out tons and give many people exactly what they want/need without jumping to the dominator.

What would you suggest for engine trans package if your running a 6l80? I’ve been told neither of the Holley options will work.

How do you feel about the haltèch nexus v5? I think the built in PDM is flat out genius and should become industry standard

My man just put Devin the Dude on there LMAO!

The devin cut in there made my day lol

I'd really like to see a sniper video I want to put fuel injection on a 1963 chevy 292 inline 6. Sequential injection won't work because it's siamese port intake

It seems like since they have done the work to make the wizard they should offer it for the dominator so you can move it around and have it say you still need a tune and limit it to like 3000 rpm

Building a LS for a Jeep/Rock Crawler... Also using the dual throttle body Edelbrock which means I am going to have to use a Dominator. But I also want to use a 6L90e... Terminator X Max now has the option of running the 6L80/90 yet as far as I can tell, the Domimator still can not run those transmissions...?

X-Max enjoyer here...have you seen any type of waterproof case for the ecu? I only have room to mount it in the engine bay and ran into a problem on power tour where water ran off the hood and onto the ecu and it's pretty much useless until it dries out. i solved it by duct taping the seams for the moment, but that even feels sketchy for me. i'm half a mind to open the case and pot it.

Id love to hear your opinion on the sniper. I have a super sniper on a turbo SBM and I really like it. I would never run it for a serious set up but a fun street strip car, it's great. At least in my opinion. It does have it's downfalls though

which product you think is best for 2F Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 engine? Thank you.

Damn, when i got to the Devin tha Dude clip I knew that clicked on the right breakdown video...

Devin The Dude! Hell yeah!

Thanks Joe.

Hi Joe, on your opening screens at 13 seconds you show a clip of what appears is a 3.5 screen with an rpm shift type indicator display on it? What ecu or software is that? Can you get that type of display on any of the 3.5's.

I bounced back and forth for months before buying the dominator. Twin turbo street strip car. No regrets

I'm doing a hemi swap 5.7 or 6.1 I just want it to run the motor and tranny and be able to tune when I change the cam to be able to get the most power thanks

If I want to run mpfi with a throttle body and a blower on a classic engine with no need for transmission control or fans. HP with a Holley throttle body would be my best option for what a need vs affordability?

I remember back in the day deleting the ECU in G-Body’s and square body’s lol

saved, invaluable knowledge that I will eventually need when I get off my ass and work on my car

I ran the HP units for years and considered going the Terminator way but ended up going with the Dominator ECU to have it all. The Terminator X ECU has too many limitations for what I want to do.

What about the CAN I/O module you can use with the terminator??

I'm looking for something to run a Maserati motor. What would you suggest?

Excellent video..

Would I terminator be fine for a booster 302 running 93? Not racing the truck might make a pass or two but the transmission is a limiting factor for me at the moment, or should I go to a hp/dominator ecu

Hey joe i have a question. Do you know why a holley terminator x ecu will only crank an not give any spark or fuel? It wont pick up any rpm signal at all. Im starting to get concerned that the ecu is toast.

Does the same recommendation for a turbo setup go for a supercharger setup?

would LOVE a sniper video please and TY

I do a number of off-road cars and have done HP is but now I’ve almost moved exclusively to terminator x when they’re super charged and reserve the HP mostly for something that’s turbo and I would agree with everything you’re saying although the terminator seem to hold up pretty well in Relatively rough off-road conditions As one of the guys at Holley said to me if you’re worried about vibration on the terminator X, you’re probably gonna hurt your body from the shaking before the terminator X will give you a problem and that’s what I found But what I really like to see is Haolley do a subscription model on the HP to lower the cost where you pay for software functionality, you need or even hardware plug-ins so that you would have something between the terminator x and the HP

I have the terminator x Max i need to plug the TCI paddle shifter run in the terminator ecm

Do a sniper ecu please some of us like the carb look

hey i know this video has been up for a bit but i forgot i had a question until i am getting closer to installing my holley ecu. So long long story short i bought a holley terminator ls (#550-660). I thought it was a steal (lol oww) on sale during xmas 2020? maybe 2018? anyway it was about a month later the terminator x was released and i see sloppy mech showing it being used a junkyard truck. I had committed to a cathedral intake and still wanted Holley's self tunability so I was sold on this unit although im only running a cammed NA 5.3 its money spent a while ago so im not stuck on the terminator x being cheaper. however im wondering why the terminator ls is never mentioned. I was told it can run alcohol injectors and i have trans control with dbc. Its a very impressive unit but the lesson was learned to wait until you need something to buy it. Joe if you have a chance could you compare the terminator ls ecu, the only things i can find a difference between the x and ls is the computer housing and alch injector capability>? Is this just an in between unit of terminator x and the dominator? thanks if you got the time, and thanks for your channel helpin ppl like me get real tuning info from someone with a sense of humor and gets it. Im up in jersey i was thinking about driving down for a tune!

Being I don't understand half of what you're talking about...you just convinced me that I don't want EFI and I'll stick with the good ole carburetor!

whats efi good for beetle 1973-76 ? thanks to help 🙏

Sounds like a Dominator will be in my future. The internal logging and extra outputs will be a huge plus. Building a twin turbo ls gbody.

I got a Terminator X for my Fox body. I didn't realize all the extra stuff you needed to keep your AC. You don't have to but it also helps to switch to a GM style IAC and other sensors just to simplify tuning a tiny bit.

Can the universal terminator x 550-936 run MSD's DIS coil near plug.. ?

If I want run VVT for the gen III hemi am I limited to the Terminator X max?

I got a terminator X mainly bc I can't tune shit with a laptop. I just wanted the thing to tune itself well enough to drive to shows and scoot on the highway.

Can I run octane booster like boostane on a terminator x with the bosch wideband?

Thoughts. Can you expand on math channels in another video? Thanks.

DOMINATOR... But Not Available... "Inquisinator" says that's weird... What about the Denso cross on the Bosch O2. What makes the NTK so different?

Let’s see that sniper video so I can link people over to your channel for not one but two videos.

HOLLEY EFI TERMINATOR X MAX STEALTH 4150 - BLACK 550-1012 can you compare this one?

A lot of good info

What would you recommend for a car making 3,500 to 4,000?

Hi Joe, Quick Question, wondering which Holley, you would recommend me going with for my set up, obviously with the room for growth. i Might build another motor in the near future. Currently i have a stock block / rotating assembly which is the Forged blend internals. it is a 1990 5.0 , when i built the motor, it still had the cross-hash marks in the cylinders and the pistons were stamped TRW. they were definitely original from Ford as i know the cars history from new. it has a Trick Flow stage 1 Cam which is a 510 Lift with i believe like 221 - 228 Duration. i have a Cobra Upper and lower intake with a set of Pro Comp heads that i had my local speed shop / Machine shop go through them. They took out all the slag out of the casting and flowed the exhaust bowl. i gasket matched everything. Short travel crane race lifters, Crane Gold 1.6 Roller Rockers with hardened pushrods and guide plates. Etc. , etc. Mated with a Freddie Brown built AOD Manual Valve body with a brake and electronic overdrive and a 3800 Stall Convertor currently running 373:1 Ford racing gears. 60 lb. Injectors, 70MM Professional Products throttle body with a Ford Lighting 90 MM Mass Air. 3" Aluminum Drive shaft, Ford Racing rear end cover with the cap supports. torque Supports with UPR Upper and Lower Adjustable Hiem Joint control arms. Running a Vortech V1 Stirm that was upgraded to a SI Trim when Vortech rebuilt the blower. As well as running the Air to Water Power cooler with a heat exchange up front and a 5-gallon ice box in the trunk with a 8 GPM pump running through 3/4 Lines front to back. running about 15.5 - 16 lbs of boost. Has a pretty decent tune from Real Speed in Bohemia Long Island New York about 6 - 7 Years ago on the factory computer chipped. Car made like 465 RWHP with 440 RWTQ. Also have some safety in place. If i rev's the car past 5850RPM it will pull 4 degrees of timing and add 10% more fuel as not to hurt, it. My future plans is to build a Dart Block with all bullet proof internals so i can make some real HP. But for now, this car went best of 10.87 @ 126 MPH. on completely stock suspension as i wasted to get this car into the 10's before doing the suspension just to see if i could. I do have all the good suspension parts that i haven't installed yet. So back to my original question do you think i should lean towards the Holly dominator , Terminator or the Holly EFI. Thank yoi in advance for the input. JImmy

Wonder what the dominator goes for price wise

I would have loved to pay less for my ECU but I wanted the dual O2 sensors. Pretty much everything else about the Dominator is overkill for my application but it is what it is.

Is the hp capable of utilizing a strain gauge shifter?

Very informative, thank you. One question I have, does the Dominator control the transmission like a Terminator X max does? I am running a 302 & 4R70W from an explorer & wanted to add a turbo later. Was looking at the terminator x max because of the trans control. Any help or advice is appreciated! Have a great day!

Can you use more than one Holley CAN I/O MODULE. I think you CAN.

Great info. Great memes.

My head hurts with all the different stuff out there.. I have been looking into a stand-alone unit for my LT1 gen2 sbc this motor has the "opti spark" and no rear distributor hole in the back of the intake which is in a 4thgen f-body camaro .. note: intake manifolds for these engines are non-existent that will fit under the cowl of a 4thgen f-body that I can use a distributor there is not enough room unless you cut the cowl... which i do not want to do just wish there was an easier option that doe snot requires tp spend thousands to get rid of the old odb1 PCM..

what do you think of edelbrocks pro-flo 4

Street strip car, true street events. 427 FI 94mm turbo, th400, radial car. Leaning towards dominator

An Hp with like 20 combine input and output would sale great
