By: Tom Kise10/29/2019 < Back to Blog Home

Holley's popular factory training courses are back in 2020 with an updated curriculum to stay current with Holley EFI system updates. These factory direct training classes provide a unique opportunity to get advanced training and technical experience with Holley EFI directly from the people that developed the products you use. These two-day courses are presented in a comfortable environment surrounded by an American icon of performance at the National Corvette Museum near Holley's company headquarters in Bowling Green, Kentucky and provide technical training for dealers, racers, and any other user of their popular EFI systems.

Holley's EFI courses provide three levels of EFI training. The first class is Tier one. This class has been expanded from one day, to two days in 2020. At the end of this class, participants will have the tools they need to successfully complete a conventional "canned" Holley EFI installation. Class space is currently limited to 15-20 people per session. The goal of the limited space is to allow the instructor the ability to work with each participant one-on-one as much as possible. This class is ideal for those who are new to EFI in general, as well as those who are new to Holley's EFI systems. This is a two-day class with a cost of $299.00 that will run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A Tour of Holley's manufacturing facility will also be offered to Tier one class participants the day prior to class date provided that date does not fall on a Saturday or Sunday. The following topics will be covered in the class:

System features
Wiring
Instructions
Software loading and navigation
Using the data monitor
Basic Global File management
General engine and ignition parameters
Closed loop and learn
Timing tables
Idle parameters,
Pin mapping,
Basic Input/Output configuration
Tuning principles
Acceleration enrichment tuning
Drive by Wire Throttle body controls
GM / Ford transmission control
General data logging
And more

The tier two class will expand on what was learned in the Tier one class to include advanced tuning and set up principles. The tier two course also runs from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., this two-day course has a cost of $299.00. Class size is again limited to 15-20 people per session. Prior completion of the Tier One class is required. The following topics will be covered in this course:

System features
Advanced Wiring
File management including, setting directory paths, creating a custom GCF and exporting GCF files to the ICF Library
Advanced engine parameters
Multiple Injector set strategies
Injector phasing
Custom ignition configurations
Cam/Crank sensor phasing
Advanced Closed loop and learn
Timing tuning tecniques and theory
Programmable timing retards
Knock Tuning
Idle parameters, including advanced idle troubleshooting and tuning
Tuning principles
Load scale, pro's and cons to Speed density, VE, alpha-N and Combo strategies
Acceleration enrichment tuning
Start-up fueling
After-start enrichment tuning
Cold start and cold idle tuning
Custom inputs/outputs
Rescaling fuel maps for boosted applications and increases resolution
Sensor scaling and warnings
Hot key navigation
And more

The tier three class will take all of the previously covered information and apply is to more complicated engine combinations that utilize turbochargers, nitrous oxide, active speed management , Advanced one and two axis control tables and water/methanol injection. Like the tier two course, this course is limited to 15-20 people per session, it runs from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and will be a two-day class with a cost of $299.00. Prior completion of the Tier two class is required. The following topics will be covered in this course:

Single and dual port Boost Control
Hands On PID Based controller Training
Boost based on Time,RPM,Gear, speed, Manual Boost and Advanced boost offset table strategies
Boost Safeties
Boost Builders
Progressive and Non Progressive wet and Dry Nitrous controls
Pedaling control strategies
Water / Methanol controls
Duty cycle based W/M tables
Fuel Flow based W/M control tables
Active speed management (time based traction control)
Advanced ICF 1 and 2 axis Tables
And more

"Holley factory training is a fantastic way to get unique one-on-one time with our engineers and lead techs," says Bill Tichenor, Holley’s Director of Marketing. "The knowledge gained from these courses helps improve sales for our dealers and gives users specialized instruction to improve their general EFI understanding, as well as the tuning capabilities of Holley's EFI systems."
