PRO 275 Nova HEMI powered by FuelTech FT600 | Holder Motorsports

Roger Holder and his Holder Motorsports are notorious for bringing some of the nicest cars to the outlaw scene and their 1966 Chevy Nova is no exception. Built by Reese Brothers Race Cars, the classic Nova is slated for Pro 275 in the Radial Outlaw Racing Series and it is packing quite a punch from its turbocharged HEMI powerplant.
The team recently spent a day at the FuelTech USA headquarters in Ball Ground, Georgia partaking in the Advanced Dyno Training Session. It is a service offered to FuelTech customers that includes a day of dyno testing their vehicle on the in-house Mainline hub dyno while the renowned tech support staff works with the team, teaching them the intricacies of their engine management system. Holder Motorsports walked away with a firm grasp on the FT600 ECU while holding a dyno sheet that reads 3,784 WHP!
The Noonan HEMI powerplant is pumped up by a Harts Turbo 140mm single turbocharger; the single turbo receives a generous weight break in the Pro 275 ranks over a twin turbo combination. The engine and drivetrain run smoothly thanks to a FuelTech FT600 engine management system. It is the top-of-the-line FuelTech ECU that has been employed to help racers win races and earn countless nationals championships across several forms of motorsports.
The PowerFT ECU family-FT600, FT550, FT550LITE, and FT450-offers a complete line-up of standard features including sequential injection and ignition, O2 Closed Loop, data logger, delay box, Boost Controller, Nitrous Controller, and so much more. All ECUs also include a closed loop option for advanced and efficient fuel function, aiding in engine safety.
The FT450, FT550, and FT600 ECU units house an LCD display and touchscreen on the actual unit, showing real-time data and allowing the user to make adjustments without a PC connection. Not only does the ECU display the real-time information from the assortment of sensors wired into the engine management system, all PowerFT ECUs can data log each sensor and that eliminates the need for an additional system to be built into the vehicle. In the case of the FT600, it is capable of recording up to 256 channels of data if configured properly. Another useful option is the GearController that is available in the FT600 and FT550 ECUs; for example, the PowerFT unit activates the auto-shifter of a TH400 transmission in Holder’s Nova.
Big power combinations like this turbocharged HEMI utilize low impedance fuel injectors and require the use of a Peak and Hold 8A/2A injector controller. Applications that run eight injectors utilize two Peak and Hold 8A/2A boxes while combinations that run 16 injectors will need four boxes. FuelTech recently unveiled its latest injector driver box dubbed the Peak and Hold PRO. This new unit is programmable, allowing the user to adjust the amperage as-per the fuel injector requirements as well as run diagnostics. It is also capable of setting fail-safe thresholds to prevent faulty fuel injectors from causing an engine failure. The new Peak and Hold PRO is a dual-channel box, meaning it can run up to eight fuel injectors and two boxes are needed to run up to 16 injectors.
Holder is aiming to run deep in the 3s at speeds over 200 mph and FuelTech gives him the tools and knowledge to accomplish those tasks. From the high-paced ranks of small-tire racing to the tire-shredding Formula Drift professional series, there is a reason you’re seeing #FuelTechEverywhere

[@groomlake51]

Not many options for a skinny tire that will cope with 200mph+

[@Bmw2473]

What was the deal with the e-waste gate? Did one finally have a issue cause those seem to be the best on the market and haven’t seen a video where it fails. What’s the highest boost you guys have ran on one in somebody’s car 50psi?

[@thomasdaddio741]

A 275 radial on this car is scary , it's not at it's FULL POTENTIAL for horsepower because of the class

[@mach5jeep]

What is the vent in the trunk lid for?

[@keith38able]
