As the title states, this video is an unboxing of Holley’s Super Sniper EFI system (650hp). I also talk about some of the difficulties I had installing the fuel injection system and I offer solutions as to how to solve those difficulties.
I also cover the other parts you might need when installing one of these systems on your engine.
So if you’re considering purchasing one of these systems for your vehicle, check out this video to find out what you might be into.

@Chase Postell Can you approach the cost and ease of this with something better? This is such a win over the original carb for the budget and low-risk install, it's an easy sell. Absolutely right about boost (and there's a note on the unit about boost). I've done a lot of reading on MegaSquirt and such and this is so off-the-shelf, you don't have to be Eric The Car Guy to benefit from a DIY.

Finally found the video series again. I have also bought a sniper EFI kit and did some serious digging and found a throttle bracket that works. I’ve already done test fits and verified that it causes no interference at all. It’s a summit racing branded part part number 210241. And for coolness it is offered in various colors. But otherwise it is just like the first bracket you showed in the video. But bigger so that it clears the sniper.

Mine said something similar about $2K to add it to a '92 Seca XJ600. My son just rebuilt the carbs instead and it's getting about 50mpg. Now I'd like to convert one to electric, but a new electric bike's price tag merits considering a conversion.

Good luck finding a modern truck for $1500 that isn't rusted to hell. A new vehicle would be 200+ a month or $1400 a year. If you put that same amount into an old vehicle each year it's still worth it, especially if you consider the insurance savings.

That looks so impressive :-D I like your fix for the throttle bracket :-D, perhaps a spot of weld on the underside of each extention would have been a good idea. The exhaust tap in plate is so simple, i did wonder how they would do that. The only thing i dislike is the controller being part of the body, never mix electronics with heating/cooling cycles, solder cracks can form. Just my opinion only :-)

@ericthecarguy 5 жыл бұрын

Spot welds weren't necessary. Once it's bolted down, the angle keeps it in place and it doesn't move around. I wasn't happy about the controller placement either, but it makes it so that you don't have to mount it separately. As always, thanks for the comment.

That's so it can replace a carburettor without needing to replace the inlet manifold.

Well, more often that not, you have to make linkage brackets or buy them. I'm over doing that, and have been for years, and Brina from Lokar is always very helpful. You might pay a bit, but I've yet to receive a box from them that did not contain a lot of "in case of" extra items I did not actually pay for. As far as the carb hat goes? They can be hit and miss, so that is what it is. Lastly, the stud that holds on your hat? Well, that's what you get for running a Demon, and not a Holley. If you had a Holley carb, it would have been the same size. Just take a tap and cut the bottom part of the rod down so that it fits with the TB. Then you will keep it snug with the hat. Easy.
