355 tpi / turbo / 4l80 HELP!!!

Hey guys i am at a loss here
time to get my 92 formula finished
I'm getting ready to drop in a built 355 tpi turbo with a 4l80
I'm trying to find a setup that can control and run everything
I called Holley and once they heard 92 they went straight for their stealth setup and started adding part numbers and $$$$$$$$$
and they would not even talk to me about any other options LOL
will a deliminator or terminator kit work for my setup???

please any and all input and recommendations brands options needed

Thanks

Terminator x max with 24x crank harness may work

you’ll need to mount a crank trigger, like holleys 36-1 hall effect kit.
OR efi connection 24x reluctor ring kit with timing cover. The plastic late model vortec cover might work on your block since its a late model

get efi connections 1x cam sync distributor.

get some ls1 coils or other ls coil pack for boost like the D581’s.

you will need to extend the holley lsx harness to reach those cam and crank sensors and likely some other sensors like tps iac coolant etc. may even need to add the right tpi pigtails but it will work

i have run the ls1 harness and oem pcm on my turbo sbc and now using ls1 holley harness on my turbo big block just modded for pigtails and length. Using holley 36-1 trigger and efi connection 1x dizzy.

This is where it gets expensive, but it doesn't have to be that expensive. I am in the same boat by upgrading to an electronic transmission, but the current ECU I am using has no control over it. But rather than swap ECU's at this point and go with say a Haltech, I went with a standalone TCM. Depending on manufacturer, will run you between five to seven hundred. I would recommend this if you already have an ECU to control your boosted engine and just need trans control...

Wow bigstuff? That always seemed to be more drag race oriented. Seems like an odd choice considering other options. I guess they must have upgraded some of their stuff?

I have to agree with Orr on the BS3. Didn't think anyone even ran it anymore. I was always under the impression it didn't work well on the street.
