I doubt the stock ECM is adequate for your goals.

The best would be EBL flash http://dynamicefi.com/ plug and play.

60#/hr injectors would require 40 psi of fuel pressure to support around 400hp.

What is the estimated hp and what injectors are available for the holley?

stock style injectors interchange my goal is close to 400

I don't know how holley's injectors are rated, neither what pressure they can support.

GM 60#/hr @ 20 psi would be good for 280hp and a little more maxed out.

GM 80#/hr @ 22psi are good for 400hp and a little more maxed out.

The more experienced tuners burn many chips (20-100), to get the tune right.

60pps@12psi sounds wery similar to GM 350 tbi injectors 61#/hr @13psi.

I got my pair of flow matched 80#/hr (gm#17084304) from tgo member dctrumpet.

Maybe could find some at the JY and have them flow tested and matched. http://www.witchhunter.com/tbiremoval1.php4
