Canton, GA – Super Comp driver Trevor Wiggins created quite a buzz among fellow sportsman racers at the NHRA 
Summit Southern Nationals since converting his motor set-up to electronic fuel injection (EFI) after teaming up with Holley Performance Products and Hilborn Fuel Injection.
Wiggins, who runs a 602-Steve Schmidt engine in his silver Undercover dragster, moved away from the traditional carburetor system found on most dragsters thanks to support from Holley Performance Products and Hilborn Fuel Injection.
With the help of Holley EFI expert Doug Flynn, Wiggins put together some great packages in time trials and eliminations during the NHRA national event held in Atlanta, May 13-15.
Among 61 Super Comp racers, Wiggins ousted Ken Griffiths in round one. After ranking fourth on the ladder, Wiggins convincingly beat Jim Nash in round two with a tight 0.007 package. Wiggins went 0.007 on the tree and a perfect 8.900.
In round three, Wiggins met up with Kurt Damron. Wiggins, with a better reaction time, (0.030) 8.894, 175.75 m.p.h., narrowly lost on the break-out to Damron (0.032), 8.908, 167.07 m.p.h., who hit the wall after the finish line.
“For most Super Comp drivers, EFI is outside the box,” comments Wiggins. “I want to win races and the truth is I’ve always been more comfortable with fuel injection systems over carburetors. It was logical to go with Holley and Hilborn – two names synonymous with electronic fuel injection.”
“We’ve still got some fine tuning to work on,” adds Wiggins. “I feel confident that this Holley/Hilborn system will get us in the direction we want to go – which is winning races.”
After three years of pulling the deal together, Wiggins trialed the new EFI setup in early April on the dynamometer. The results were extremely consistent. Wiggins then tested the new Holley Dominator EFI/Hilborn injector set-up at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Ky., during a track test session before competing in the NHRA Summit Southern Nationals. Wiggins’ next race is the NHRA Lucas Oil Divisional Race in Atlanta, May 20-22, before going on to the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tenn., June 17-19.
