Holley Systemax 2 Upgrade
 
I was thinking about putting this Holley Combo on my new stock 88 stang. It says it should get about 350 horses with this setup which will be fine for a daily driver. Has anyone had any experience with this package? Does anyone have any kind of input? Thanks.

The Holley kit is a good kit it delivers the advertised HP.

It is common to see cars with gears and slicks go low 12's with the systemax kit.

The intake is nice. Thats all I kept from my kit. I had nothing but problems with their 1.94 1.60 heads. There customer service is a joke, took like 6 months of daily calling, e-mailing, leaving messages to to talk to the only man who could help me. With 2k miles on the heads i was using 1 qt of oil every other day.
On a good note I never dynoed less than 307/310 at the wheels. I wish I had pictures of my 2k mile heads after they were removed. Hope this helps - I dont wish this headache on anyone.

After hearing that I wouldnt buy them.

You can get the same or similar power for the same cost or a lot less depending on how well you choose your parts.

The all TFS combo is beter IMO.

unless I were building a very high rpm, or a boosted car, I wouldnt get the holley intake.

I would highly reccomend AFR165s, an edelbrock performer RPM II, and a custom ground cam.

Close to the same price, and you'll make more power.

I've been picking up dyno results off the net for a while and I'm gonna post the reported results. I have the dyno sheets for most of these combos...................
