Holley throttle body fuel injection

Right now i have a 465 cfm holley carb setup from RB. I have been researching turbo 12as and it seems that the best way to go is fuel injection (duh). I plan on buying a holley commander 950 kit rated for 900 cfm to run with a bridge ported 12a. Has anyone tried this before? The kit would bolt right up to the RB manifold ahnd comes with a fuel pump, cpu, wiring harness and everything else you would need. Just looking to see if its been done before.

i've been contemplating this type of setup for converting to FI for quite some time. i saw an rx2 a while back on ebay that had one of the older analog type holley 2d setups on it. the commander 950 requires the use of a laptop to tune it. i'm still going to try one of the older analog systems, either a 2d or 4d setups, since those have the ***** on the ecu for tuning. i say go for it and let us know how it works out.

holley commander sux **** if you seriously plan to boost your car.... all the junk it comes with will be of no use. get you a real 4-barrel throttle body and a good stand alone.

Exactly. I don't think the old Holley ECU's can compensate for boost either..
