lol, well your doing pretty good then. do you log backpressure? if you do you can do MAP/EMAP for the Y axis on the fuel table for a much better model of the engine VE. they are expensive to buy but you can get away with using a long piece of tubing and attach the sensor at the end of it. This will give you a solid value to use for turbo sizing and you will then be able to tell when adding boost is no longer effective.
Nice to have even if you dont use it in the fuel equation..

another great one is monitoring the CLT pressure, you can use any passage in the block that will accept a pressure sensor. Just log the pressure and view after the run or setup a diagnostic light to come on when the pressure rise or delta value is high, this will let you know that a gasket is failing or a head is lifting BEFORE you lose the engine.

@a91what if I had the ability too you bet your butt I would. That’s the only downfall to the holley HP is limited inputs and outputs. If the funds are there this year I might switch to the dominator. Sensors I wanna add are

back pressure
Pre cooler boost pressure
Coolant pressure
Trans temp
Driveshaft speed

Hmm.. I have not tried yet but can your current system be added onto using canbus? as in will it accept canbus from non-holley sources? If it can I am working on an expansion/ add on module for MS based ECU that may work with yours. I would need a tester once i get to that point..?

EDIT: nevermind, I keep forgetting that Holley uses a proprietary canbus protocol. even if I do make it talk to my module I will be one sale away from a lawsuit.

har de har har har I knew you missed me @Noobz347 ... @a91what ill have to do some research on that I know their new dashes they have the 12.3 and the 6.86 dashes apparently communicate with the hp through canbus. Which could also be an option for me if it’s multiple sensors I can add to it to communicate and let the computer control of those inputs. Currently my 7” dash from holley does not communicate with the holley only is a data display more so. Although I can make tuning adjustments on the fly through the 7” dash so that’s pretty nice.

I’m not sure the availability of other sensors but I do know they were doing EGTs through the can bus to not eat up I/os .

Only issue is the holley canbus protocol is proprietary... so it's all holley or nothing. Makes it mindless to add things but really limits you on options/flexibility.

I feel as long as you keep it thick the first couple feet you should be fine afterwards

So had a bad day at the track a few months back. Launched the car and the 31 splines and spool said see you later.
So with that I ordered a new set of 35 spline strange pro axles and spool. Also decided to put 9” ends on with 8.8 bolt pattern to retain my brakes I’m currently using.
These 5/8 studs are huge thankfully my rc comp wheels fit them just fine.

went to put my north race car brake brackets on and didn’t realize the 9” bearings do not fully sit inside the 9” end cups
So now off to order new brakes for the rear so the caliper bracket fits around the bearing nicely.

Brakes are in and couldn’t be happier! Hoping to knock this stuff out during the week and get back out there soon.
