Default Re: Looking for a Holley Terminator X wiring expert.

Still running on the Stock ECM/PM so far, but ran in the 16's at Phoenix vs mid. 17's at Vegas in The Summit Series. Car has a drop-off appt. on the 10th of March with Matthew Goade of RAD (River Auto & Dyno in Lake Havasu City, AZ), to check out and finish it all up and get it right the first time, which will help me learn the software portion he says I will learn it faster if it is right to begin with. Things are harder when it is an odd combo that nobody has done much with before.

Looking really forward to improving the Q-sheet position(s), makes the wait with it though the recent car changes has already improved basic performance of the driver over the last few months and made us both somewhat more competitive, so I am really looking forward to getting the next step completed. One large step at a time.

Matt has seen the car run a couple of times now and is familiar w/ the combo (at least the year, make, & model and knows the perplexity of the upgrade fully, and bonus is he is only 35 mins.
S.W. of me, so he is local and has seen the job and I have an 8 day break in my race schedule we scheduled the completion of the project drop-off for.

I really wanted to complete it myself, but I will learn quicker this way, and it will be right, right outta the box (giving me a tune I can always fall back on if I screw things up later, and I will have I believe a shorter software learning curve). You could fit in a thimble what I really know about the Holley Software right now, but as a longtime computer repair and IT
Tech, it won't take long given a great starting point. We shall see soon.

Where I lack right now was that there are strange differences in nomenclature between the wiring diagram and the software pin mapping (they flat out do not match up, and as a guy who is not an electrical engineer by trade, I simply do not know the exact type each wire on the WBO2 is beyond + or - , some do not even give you that much info, and unless you know offhand the exact type to enter into the pin mapping stage of hardware/software/wiring setup), you cannot get past wire 1, to even enter 2-8). YouTube videos are not detailed step-by-step enough to muddle through, phone call tech and tuning help is good, but direct hands on help with dyno time will yield better results.
