Holley/Hilborn EFI Dragster to Display at 2011 PRI Show


PRESS RELEASE


(Canton, Ga., 11/28/2011) – In conjunction with Holley Performance Products and Hilborn Fuel Injection, Trevor Wiggins’ EFI Super Comp dragster will be featured at the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show, Dec. 1-3 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.


Earlier this year, Wiggins created quite a buzz in drag racing when he converted his 602-Steve Schmidt engine to electronic fuel injection (EFI), thanks to support from Holley Performance Products and Hilborn Fuel Injection.


"It’s an honor to be a part of the PRI Show with Holley Performance Products and Hilborn Fuel Injection – two great companies synonymous with fuel injection,” Wiggins comments.


“This year we proved that EFI on a dragster is possible – it’s super consistent and easy to dial,” Wiggins adds. “Hopefully all our hard work will payoff by getting to the Winner’s Circle in 2012…EFI is the next level of drag racing.”

Look for Wiggins’ EFI silver dragster as part of the PRI Vehicle Display, located near the Media Center at the West Side of the convention center. In addition, be sure to stop by the Holley Performance Products Booth (#3769) and the Hilborn Fuel Injection Booth (#3912). Both booths will be located in the East Side of the Orange County Convention Center.
