This video took a little while to put together. Originally I wanted to make it quick and as simple as possible but after taking some notes and really thinking about it there was more to cover than just some bullet points. I really wanted to share my personal experiences as I have used both systems on the same setup in my Fox Body Mustang. I go over the pros and cons of both systems, what it will take to get to know the system, which is more user friendly, etc... I know this video is long but I hope it will help someone make an informed decision if you are looking to purchase one for your ride.

I’m really behind the times, I don’t run either one of these. I still run the Anderson PMS on my N/A 347. It works great and is super easy to use. I have 3 data sets to choose from. The only downside is I can’t data log and I had to adjust the part throttle under 2k .

Not that I have either of these but What I don’t like is the fact that they only monitor one bank instead of both . So if one bank is running lean you will never know it.

Great video. If you don’t want to use the lcd screen for say afr or boost, if u buy the Holley gauges ie afr or boost, does each gauge take up a port or out? I know you said there is only 4 outs. Also any issues with using the stock gauges with the Holley? Thanks

Considering what you pay for the Holley platform, it better be a damn good easy to use system.

Bought me a micro a few yrs ago along with sep 1000s for my 5.9 magnum but it's still sitting on the long block in the corner.

I currently have a megasquirt pnp in my 95 now I’m waiting on Holley to send me the termi. I’ve had nothing but problems with the megasquirt

Does the Holley system have a preloaded boost map option? And if I understand, you said there is NO mass air on this system correct?

I used Megasquirt PNP 2 for some years and needed an extra cable for the comp and right, the wideband ..also paid like 70 Bucks for Software update or Registered Version with mor tuning options...now with Term X its another world .. dont know ..the cable is like 60 and a MAP Sensor costs 10 buck on ebay..not realy Extra Costs ... but a real con for Term X is ..you cant fix it if something goes wrong ..my TX is a maybe a month in the car and worked perfekt ..but 2 days ago out of nowhere engine shuts off and didnt start again ... looks like the internal MAP Sensor fails ... its say Low Err.. so what now ?? yes ..I hooked up a Gm external map Sensor for 10 bucks and car runs again.. my concern is how good are these Term X in Terms of Quality and how long do they last ..internal Map sensor lasted a Month ???

Better do a 3g upgrade before you install the Holley. 2gs will drain your battery running and parked.

You work for a shop that offers tuning for 95 mustang ?
