Hot off the presses in Bowling Green, Kentucky this morning, Holley has proudly announced that its HP EFI engine control unit will be standard equipment on the second iteration of GM’s wildly popular COPO Camaro factory-built race cars in 2013. The HP EFI system will be the third product from Holley featured on the COPO Camaro, with the Hi-Ram intake manifold having been used on the naturally aspirated 2012 models and the Earl’s brand transmission coolers standard on all 2012 COPO’s. All three will be utilized on the 2013 model.
The COPO Camaro is the quickest and fastest Camaro ever to roll off a Chevrolet assembly line, and Holley’s EFI ECU will take on the important task of managing the fuel delivery and ignition timing.
COPO Powertrain Program Manager, Robin Wright said, “The Holley LS “Hi-Ram” intake manifold is a significant performance element for the COPO Camaro. The addition of Holley’s HP EFI Engine Management System for 2013 will increase user-friendliness and COPO customers will truly enjoy features like lb/hr based fueling and self-tuning fuel table strategies plus internal data logging with 2GB of memory.”
Chevrolet chose the Holley HP EFI for its robust control features and racer-friendly tuning capabilities, as Holley CEO Tom Tomlinson points out.
“Racers all over are having great success with Holley’s EFI products. We’ve worked hard to make our EFI systems powerful, reliable, and easy to use. Holley’s EFI throttle bodies became standard equipment on NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars for the 2012 season and now we’re excited to announce that Holley’s HP EFI ECU will be standard equipment on the Chevrolet Performance COPO Camaro for 2013. We’re excited about the future of EFI in racing and we intend to be the racer’s choice for integrated EFI and ignition control,” said Tomlinson.
The 2013 COPO Camaro will again be a limited production run, with availability and production expected to be announced sometime in the first half of 2013.
