Those are going to have to be very expensive systems to make it worth whatever it cost to become the exclusive provider.
I mean - how many systems are they going to be able to sell in the first year?
How many in the following years? You know they will have a special box JUST for those guys... hope it doesnt change the price tag on the regular stuff

Special box? Maybe... But the current Dominator ECU does everything they need and it allows password protection so others can't steal the program, yet allows access by NHRA officials. The amount of custom I/O that the Dominator allows is more than adequate for Pro-Stock. Or maybe I should say a special P/N on the box just for the pro stock

How many will they sell in the "Pro Stock" configuration? I have no idea of how many PS cars are out there.. I know I see some locals that try if they are at their home track... then its ... how many spare boxes you have in the trailer... plus the ones at the engine shop

These days.......everybody thinks there is something behind, everything that happens. Like the whole world is some big conspiracy theory and nothing happens without under the table shady dealings and palm greasing, especially in racing. One needs look no further than ANY discussion on safety gear. All it seems to be is one big conspiracy between the NHRA and safety companies to milk money out of the poor racer..........I get so damn sick of reading that idiotic sh%& it makes my stomach turn. Many are always looking for somebody to blame for something, instead of looking in the mirror and then the whole world becomes a conspiracy to them.
But enough of that............Like I said, we already have a good relationship with NHRA, assured them we had a product that met their qualifications and could supply said product. There was a 3 or 4 man team that met with NHRA brass, I know who they were, when they went and also know they did NOT go with a case full of money.
People think Holley is some big corporate monster or something. We employ less than 400 people all total. Our "EFI Team" if you want to call it that, consists of 4 people at the Holley plant and 3 more at a place we own in Canada where the code is written. That's IT, the whole team. Far from some smothering giant entity

Looks like the feathers got ruffled... I figured you would have been part of the group to talk with NHRA

No need for a group hug and my feathers aren't ruffled. But you will notice it only took until the SECOND post in the thread before it was mentioned about "how" the deal was done. Typical these days. I just find it sad to think that so many feel the whole world works that way
