I tried Holley the other day and they were very unreceptive to my inquiries.
I sent them a lengthy email explaining the application and how one system
would work on 15 years worth of VMax's and the whole nine yards. Their
response was,
"I'm sorry, we do not have any fuel injection system for your
application at this time. Thanks "
Apparently they completely missed the point. Maybe if someone had another
contact at Holley they might get a little further than I.
