Holy Holley acquisition, Batman! Possibly one of the biggest mergers in the automotive aftermarket happened this week and we thought we’d let you know. Holley Performance Products (who already owns and operates Weiand, NOS, Hooker, Flowtech, and Earl’s) just picked up the El Paso, Texas–based MSD Group, which includes Mr. Gasket, Accel, Superchips, Edge, Racepak, Mallory, Hays, QuickTime, and Lakewood.

This undoubtedly elevates Holley’s catalog of top-shelf performance parts and makes them (all the more of) a go-to source for your project car. Now, as Hot Rod Magazine stated, “Holley will now carry a part number under its umbrella for every single component needed to complete a running engine, be it EFI or carburetion. Notable products that Holley acquires in the process are EFI tuners Superchips and Edge, along with the data-logging and digital gauge pack systems offered by Racepak.

“MSD’s competing Atomic EFI lineup is another interesting acquisition, as Holley currently offers a fully developed selection of EFI systems—from weekend-warrior two-barrel throttle-body-injected conversions to complete motorsports-capable engine management systems.”

Here’s the original press release:

Holley Performance Products is pleased to announce the acquisition of the El Paso, TX based MSD Group.
