I've looked at the Hillborn website a few times and they don't seem interested in providing much information about their EFI setups. I assume that once Holley owns them the information will be easier to come by.

Well they need to have at the LEAST, a left & right fuel map for the Stack injection. 1968 Charger COLD A/C Hilborn EFI 512ci 9.7 compression, Stealth heads, 4.10 gear A518 ODtrans 4100lb,10.93 full street car trim 2020 T/A 392 Stock 11.79 @ 114.5

Holley has infinitely more resources and will be able to market/promote their products better. Holley is becoming a little bit of a monopoly though swallowing up all these smaller companies.

Thanks for the scoop, this must have just been sent to Holley dealers so far, I don't see anything yet in the press or on either Holley's or Hilborn's websites.

They’ve built two new buildings across the street from where I work and if the construction guys are correct, there’s three more going in. I’ve got my resume in, just waiting for them to hire Maintenance people. Dennis https://www.lanereport.com/115627/2...-expansion-in-bowling-green-80-new-jobs/
