 +The Terminator X and Terminator X Max are the entry level Holley systems. The HP EFI and Dominator are the more high end systems that have even more capabilities. Most people are going to find the Terminator X is going to do everything they want it to for a lot of use cases. If you have a drag car with a lot of sensors and need tons of advanced tables or traction control though you will likely want to step up to the Dominator system.

 +===== Typical Build Cost For a Turbo 3800 =====
 +
 +Generally most turbo stickshift 3800's or turbo 3800's with an old school 350/400/powerglide transmission can step to a Holley for ~$1,600 in today's prices by going with a Terminator X system and modifying the LS1/LS6 harness to use the 3800's crank/cam sensor along with a few other modifications to make it work.

 +You could swap out the MAP sensor for an ACDelco 12643955 for about $30, skip the flex fuel sensor, buy some junkyard coils, and you'd probably be able to cut the price down by about $200 for a cheaper alternative. You could also skip the USB cable and just read and write tunes from the touch screen, but that will probably get a little frustrating in the long term.

 +==== Important Note: Vehicle Speed Sensor ====
 +
 +The Holley Terminator X and HP EFI do not have a way that I've seen of accepting a speed sensor signal. To workaround this and still send a speed signal to your speedometer without upgrading to a Terminator X Max or Dominator there are two options most people have done:\\
 +You could keep your stock ECU wired into power, ground, ignition voltage, and the speed sensor and use the stock PCM just to convert the VSS sensor signal into a signal for your speedometer. Extend those wires and hide the PCM anywhere you want to.\\
 +You could also use a [[https://sirhclabs.com/product/vr-to-hall-sensor-converter/|VR to Hall sensor converter]] box according to some posts on the internet.
