Wow, sure glad I read all these comments! I was just getting ready to order my new sniper kit tonight but thanks to all these good folks for sharing their experience and stories. Now I'm going to run like hell the opposite direction. I think I'm going to research the Aces Kill Shot or the Aces Wild Card systems. I definitely don't want all these problems. I've went through so many carburetors on my old classic cars, from sitting too much, they start leaking fuel and just all around run like crap if I don't run them once a week or so. I really thought this aftermarket fuel injection was my answer but thanks to all you guys who took the time to comment, it won't be Holley😂

Dude, thank you so much for this video... You should know how many times I harassed Holley with my EFI questions last year (to the point I don't wanna ask them anymore).. just because that part of their website is JUNK and they admitted it multiple times. I've had to look up a ton of utube videos and read 100s of web articles just to realise what was out there and what exactly it is need for my application. For somebody new in the efi game it is IMPOSSIBLE to know what's playing' with the different Holley kits. Glad you took the time to explain... I hope Holley is doing what they should be for your efforts. Keep making nice content man

I just pucked up a Plymouth scamp with a 360 running the holley efi system. It wasnt what I installed. Software crapped out and I tried uploading software and firmware updates tried resetting the system just to start the programming from scratch again in an attempt to get it running. Final result my car wont run cause of software. So I'm ditching the system for a holley 650 dp. I know I will be happier cause software wont be controlling my car. I guess I'll miss out on all those big fuel savings with my 440 hp motor.

Side note: you can change injectors in any of these systems. The "bowls" come apart with 4 bolts just like any carb bowl, and any injector that is the correct length will fit. You can buy a base Sniper and install a set of ID2600's, for example. Also, page 9 of the Sniper Tuning and Log View Software has instructions for E-85 use... so my only guess as to why they would not recommend it is, maybe their 100lb/hr injectors don't come with stainless steel internals. So if you replace them, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it.

Yea you can do whatever you want just don’t expect support from Holley after you do it. Holley basically says the units are not field serviceable (like swapping or fixing injectors) but it’s a liability thing. Unlike a traditional multiport system if you have a fuel leak you can see it, with the snipers you can’t so i get it. It’s a shame in todays world everybody wants to blame everybody else for their mess ups, so things have to be advertised a certain way. The modern world kinda sucks haha

Just my 2 cents. I've worked on quite a few fitechs, snipers, and terminator x setups at this point and the sniper seems shockingly bad from a longevity and QC perspective. Of the local shops around me, almost none will install these systems for customers anymore because the failure rate is so high. Most recent failure for me personally was the spark circuit burning out of the first unit, and the replacement unit had wires pulled out of the CAN cable. Fixed the CAN cable made it run for 5 minutes all for it to die and refuse to run again. While Key On/Engine Off the injectors hung wide open and filled the intake with fuel. Currently converting that truck back to a carburetor for reliability. I still love my two terminator x cars, but I wouldn't trust the sniper to get me to work every day like I do with the terminator x.

Holley is a bunch of Chinese junk. Any system no matter who makes it with the ECU mounted on the throttle body is JUNK. It's the worst place you could ever put an ECU. Let's mount it in the hottest place we could think of and let it cook and vibrate to death. Well at least they didn't mount it to the exhaust manifolds or headers.

Carburetor deliver the fuel your engine, cam, head flow and exhaust size it wants. After you run it on a dynomometer and the component changes needed. EFI delivers the fuel your system wants to deliver regardless. I have worked on, near or around like literally thousands of OEM factory EFI systems while only having to actually fix or repair 14 of these. The Holley EFI system is 1980 parts with software from 2003. Good choice!

I have seen test of slightly smaller carb's against bigger EFI's. Which develop more Hp and Torque. And almost always will bring you home, not leaving you sitting along the side of the road as EFI's can do. I wouldn't mind playing with these EFI's. But not forking out triple the money for less or equal performance.

Wow, sure glad I read all these comments! I was just getting ready to order my new sniper kit tonight but thanks to all these good folks for sharing their experience and stories. Now I'm going to run like hell the opposite direction. I think I'm going to research the Aces Kill Shot or the Aces Wild Card systems. I definitely don't want all these problems. I've went through so many carburetors on my old classic cars, from sitting too much, they start leaking fuel and just all around run like crap if I don't run them once a week or so. I really thought this aftermarket fuel injection was my answer but thanks to all you guys who took the time to comment, it won't be Holley😂
Dude, thank you so much for this video... You should know how many times I harassed Holley with my EFI questions last year (to the point I don't wanna ask them anymore).. just because that part of their website is JUNK and they admitted it multiple times. I've had to look up a ton of utube videos and read 100s of web articles just to realise what was out there and what exactly it is need for my application. For somebody new in the efi game it is IMPOSSIBLE to know what's playing' with the different Holley kits. Glad you took the time to explain... I hope Holley is doing what they should be for your efforts. Keep making nice content man
You make it sound so simple, easy and reliable. Have you commented on any of the hundreds of videos of people that are VERY DISAPPOINTED with their very expensive Holley EFI? Customers left stranded, sensor failures, etc.

I just pucked up a Plymouth scamp with a 360 running the holley efi system. It wasnt what I installed. Software crapped out and I tried uploading software and firmware updates tried resetting the system just to start the programming from scratch again in an attempt to get it running. Final result my car wont run cause of software. So I'm ditching the system for a holley 650 dp. I know I will be happier cause software wont be controlling my car. I guess I'll miss out on all those big fuel savings with my 440 hp motor.

Obviously this a Holley promation.
Side note: you can change injectors in any of these systems. The "bowls" come apart with 4 bolts just like any carb bowl, and any injector that is the correct length will fit. You can buy a base Sniper and install a set of ID2600's, for example. Also, page 9 of the Sniper Tuning and Log View Software has instructions for E-85 use... so my only guess as to why they would not recommend it is, maybe their 100lb/hr injectors don't come with stainless steel internals. So if you replace them, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it.

Yea you can do whatever you want just don’t expect support from Holley after you do it. Holley basically says the units are not field serviceable (like swapping or fixing injectors) but it’s a liability thing. Unlike a traditional multiport system if you have a fuel leak you can see it, with the snipers you can’t so i get it. It’s a shame in todays world everybody wants to blame everybody else for their mess ups, so things have to be advertised a certain way. The modern world kinda sucks haha

Just my 2 cents. I've worked on quite a few fitechs, snipers, and terminator x setups at this point and the sniper seems shockingly bad from a longevity and QC perspective. Of the local shops around me, almost none will install these systems for customers anymore because the failure rate is so high. Most recent failure for me personally was the spark circuit burning out of the first unit, and the replacement unit had wires pulled out of the CAN cable. Fixed the CAN cable made it run for 5 minutes all for it to die and refuse to run again. While Key On/Engine Off the injectors hung wide open and filled the intake with fuel. Currently converting that truck back to a carburetor for reliability. I still love my two terminator x cars, but I wouldn't trust the sniper to get me to work every day like I do with the terminator x.

EFI delivers the fuel your system wants to deliver regardless.

The Holley EFI system is 1980 parts with software from 2003. Good choice!

Is it true that you shouldnt run a dual plane intake such a a performer RPM with these snipers? If so, what wpuld the recommended intake style. 440 mopar
I have no confidence in the Sniper, Im having serious EMI and RF interference issues with this system, I dont trust to leave town with this system, especially for Ford engine owners where the distributor is right next to the ECU in the sniper throttle body, who puts a computer (ECU) right next to a lightning storm!!! plus I get RF and EMI interference in the sniper cable harness, total crap! I had to re-wire the sniper system due to sensitive to EMI and RF issues and its better but still an issue!!! plus the throttle linkage is too sensitive, throttle linkage is sticky due to poor design by Holley.

EFI come's with plenty of problems, it's not foolproof. $1200-$1600 for a low-grade TB system. Or just buy a $300+ - $500 carburetor, mostly ready to just sit on and run. I have seen test of slightly smaller carb's against bigger EFI's. Which develop more Hp and Torque. And almost always will bring you home, not leaving you sitting along the side of the road as EFI's can do. I wouldn't mind playing with these EFI's.
