Holley Sniper EFI. Who’s running one, any opinions, tuning?

and I just watched Holley's video about the 02 and you have yours in the spot they suggest...

You said it is running better now so why not just leave it as is and run it for a while to see how it goes....

That is what I’m doing. After I drive it for awhile I will save the tune and maybe adjust a few things from there. Like 64 said, the timing, Also fuel enrichment, and intake to a single plane. Unless it works very well and I will just leave it alone.

I knew I had it right!!

Back to the timing

Now that you got the Sniper working. I would do what 64nailhead suggested. Timing will play a big role in how well it runs. I would look into a different distributor down the road and take advantage of the veritable timing aspect. A lot of power to be had there. I am glad it is starting to work out for you.

My thoughts exactly Zach. I will drive it for a couple of weeks or so and see what it does. Then I will save that tune and start adjusting the timing just like 64nailhead suggests. I also believe I will change my distributor to the one you suggested. Knowing what I know now, I should have went with that from the beginning. Its all part of the learning process I guess. I appreciate the help from everyone!

If the Sniper is anything like a the Terminator, then it will be self tuned in about 4 drive cycles. I found it to be absolutely unbelievable how quick it self tuned, at least enough to get a decent driving tune. Make sure you apply the learn table after after every drive the 1st 2-5 times out with it.

Lots of good info here. I took the plunge and bought a sniper efi last night. What circuit is everyone hooking into for the key switched 12 volt that is also 12 volt while cranking?

 

[64nailhead]

I have ran a wire directly to the fuse panel to an open port that accepts a spade connector. There has been two that are keyed and at least one that is constant 12v on the 3 G's that I've installed an ECM into. Be sure that source is running a relay and you'll be good.

It has been a while since I wired mine, but. I believe your main power and fuelpump relay are to be wired directly to the battery. Keyed power I did what the old man above said. Don't remember which terminal you want through. My car is still in storage so I can not look at it right now. Pretty easy and straight forward on how to wire it. When you get into veritable timing control, it gets a little tricky.
