What mods do you have to your car? I ran the 502-5 when my stock injectors took a dump. The unit is really nice, but you will run rich, very rich and your gains will only be in the upper rpm. If your car is near stock, it is not needed. Give a little more info on what you have, and I can tell you whatever you'd like to know about the Holley unit.

Pablo is 100% right. You need to burn your own chips. The 502-5 comes with the 57pph injectors, and even with all my mods and the fp regulator turned as low as it would go, I still ran very rich on the stock chip. My BLMs were probably 112-118 on average. It took a few times to get them remotely close to 128. So if you do go with the 502-6, keep in mind the 65 pph injectors and be prepared for chip tuning.

he did not say if he put that 502-6 on a 305 or a 350 if it was on a 305 i can understand why it runs so rich and with mods wouldn't make it worse due to the fact that he is pulling lower vacuum at low rpms.
I am not ragging on the unit by any means, as she is going atop my 383. But on a daily driver 305, it is not needed.

sorry, brain fart
yes i agree on that my truck runs very rich when it is in open loop but it is alot better when it heats up. but it was running rich with the stock unit cold too. i think it has to due with the 212,786 miles of plowing towing and mud bogging
. i also agree that it is over kill for a stock 305. the new motor i am putting in, in a week, is a lo5 with a cam projection intake, headers and the truck already has full exhaust 3" to muffler then duel 2.5 out. this thing will pbly run like crap till i get it tuned. hop i don't screw it up. have to order a programmer.
