Awesome video. Had a carn on my buick 455 for years. Put a Sniper 2 on ot and man it feels like a totally different car. Waaaay more power and responsiveness along with the driveability improvements. Would never go back to a carb. Ever.
Good shows, tell Discovery+ to pull their heads out of their rear ends and publish a schedule for when the new shows drop. I am ready to drop Discovery+ over this nonsense.
Finnegan said something not too long ago they have yet to tell anyone any of the shows are renewed he admitted he’s not important enough to be in the know of everything but he’s a little worried
I totally agree. Seems since MotorTrend migrated to Discovery+/HBO Max, they don't have as many new shows. I'm about to just cancel HBO Max because of it.
Do you have HBO MAX? Know someone who does and will give you their login? If so, you can stop paying for Discovery+. MAX is more user friendly. Just put shows in your favs and you can go straight to them and see if there's a new episode of any of them.
Just take your time, make sure absolutely no vac leaks, unit gets proper voltage, harness away from ignition components, fuel pressure good, and I suggest going in-tank pump set up with baffles
I wish I could see that black F250 4x4 with the FE. I had a white one and I am now legally blind and can’t drive, but I still dream about that old truck, 4 speed and all.
The snipers come with an O2 sensor and they give you a clamp on bung if you dont wanna weld or you can just weld one on or get a collector for your header that has one already
@@bobby1970 For me I always recommend any form of OEM multiport fuel injection. LS style stuff. Things that don't require a lot or all proprietary parts. If something goes wrong with that sniper kit when you are a 1k miles away from home you are screwed. At least with the OEM stuff you got a chance at fixing it.
To the folks in the comments, if you're using an electric fan, the default sniper fan on temp is like 260. Make sure you set it down to what you want it before you fire the engine. The electric fan trigger is not in the wizard.
Wow another easy install🎉. My Holley Terminator X Max SEFI 350 with full timing control and custom is less than impressive. The base Holley tune ran horrible cold. Yes, I have plenty of fuel pressure, 64-65 psi using the larger high output Holley A body plug in module.
I know of two guys that installed these units, had nothing but problems, after 2 summers of trying to get them running satisfactory they took them off the cars and went back to carbs
Awesome. I'm really tempted to do this to an old Dodge truck I found. I'm torn. Legit resto? Or massive improvement with EFI and electronic ignition? Agony
I want to swap to a sniper ! ..... just need to figure out my fuel return i run a magna fuel 500 that has a fuel return at the pump not sure if I'll need a return at the pump and at the efi
so what is the difference really between sniper 1 and 2? I get it has some upgrades but it also doesn't have a built in regulator which sucks and it cost more too
Why would you recommend holley use bluetooth to apposed to the handheld? Everyone who drives the car would need to download the app, to utilize the vitals.
I have installed a lot of EFI but the trend is beginning to change back to carburetor for me. One thing that my customers are beginning to learn is long-term storage is not EFI-friendly if it isn't done correctly.
I had the Edelbrock e-street, total trash. The o2 sensor went bad, the idle air valve went bad and the tablet even bricked itself. Oh and their tech service could only tell you to reload the base tune
Enjoy it while it lasts because it won't last long with the hot summer days and the heat of the motor and the vibration cooking the computers in the throttle body, computers don't like heat.
@kassalsup7195 Wrong. That was a MPI system with a separate stand alone ECU. The Sniper system has a simple ECU built inside the TBI unit. It can only support a single TBI unit.
@@krusher74 it definitely depends on the carb and engine but and small cubic inches and a one barrel is gonna run perfect out of the box 99% of the time
Love this vid, and it's made me wonder if I should do this when my 455 eventually gets into my Cutlass. That said - uh, in the shots from just behind the one rear wheel, am I imagining it, or is that wheel wobbling slightly?
Ive know of at least 3 people with older cars, instal the fuel injection carb and later take it all off and put a real carb back on.. So, it all sounds great but that self learning thing never really happens...
If they had issues then they likely installed it incorrectly. Most issues come from not following the instructions and thinking you can get away with it
Only issue I had with mine was when I had a slight vac leak via busted intake gasket and user adjustment error. Otherwise it runs great. Hop in and go anywhere anytime.
I wonder if Freiburger is at the point of throwing a Sniper on over a Carb every time...... I used to be pro Carb (more for the look than anything tbh) but i've fitted two Snipers and honestly i wouldn't go back.
Discovery is definitely run by rich guys, not car guys. Why else would we have 27 episodes or Mecum, 5 episodes of "Decarbonization", and 3 Roadkill sporadically placed. Do you know when they are going to destroy the Roadkill, Hotrod Garage, Roadworthy Rescues series completely, or have they not said?
Dave really took this El Camino to the next level! 😎
What about the fuel tank and pump? Did you go with a new tank and in-tank fuel pump?
the only and i mean the ONLY automotive show guys i can put up with at all,for any length of time! NO gratuitous language throwing chairs or punches,just two very humble and entertaining guys who obviously love cars
Love your videos. Dulcich makes me laugh. He’s such a great/funny guy.
He's that one wierdo in you neighbourhood that's a trustfund millionaire
Yep, they're both good & bounce off each other.
We love him too!
Good to see you guys getting back to your roots...on You Tube
I've been watching Freiburger for years. This is this 1st time I've seen him embrace EFI. It's about time! Lol
im sure they gave it to him
They have to get paid somehow.
Yes, that is what he i paid to do/say.
@@JamesTLangford Its obvious Holley paid him ROFL , the reviews Ive heard on the S2 are pretty bad but Dave got the system that works out of the box....Please stop ! Oh Im an( ASE )Certified Fuel Injection performance and drive-ability Tech. :)
They put holley sniper efi on the crusher impala
I’ve always liked El Camino’s and certain years of the rancheros
Hard not to love that car!
Freiburger is a god of V8 knowledge, been watching since roadkill season 1
He really knows his stuff!
He forgot 4 and 6 cylinders exist
TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO DAVID!!!! TOTALLYA WSOME UPGRADE!!!!! GREAT FOR ANY DAILY DRIVER!!!! THANK YOU, HOLLEY!!!!
Great job guys let's go Cruise

I dropped my subscription because of this. I think they ALL got canceled…interesting how they all have TH-cam channels now…

This is not yet on discovery or max!!
What about the IAC setting and placement of the Co2 bung. That would be some great information.
The midrange on this is where you feel the difference.
Thanks guys, I plan on going EFI next year. It can’t be that easy. I will give it a shot
Just take your time, make sure absolutely no vac leaks, unit gets proper voltage, harness away from ignition components, fuel pressure good, and I suggest going in-tank pump set up with baffles
Such a good video, I’d love to get into my first “old” v8, but I’d have to go with something like this efi setup.
I have a 77 GMC Sprint (last year of same body style).
Your El Cochino is pretty much what I want to do to it: 454, 700R4, EFI + air bags.
EFI is shot 😛sniper for my radio flyer wagon toy❤ Holley dom. Fast is not furious!
That's awesome.
My first new car was a 1974 El Camino, Two tone paint 350 automatic. $3700 out the door.
You gotta love it!
I wish I could see that black F250 4x4 with the FE. I had a white one and I am now legally blind and can’t drive, but I still dream about that old truck, 4 speed and all.
How does it know the air fuel ratio? they did not show any O2 sensor, does it require welding in of a bung to the exhaust for that?
For my 2300 Sniper it had an 02 sensor that was installed in the exhaust.
The snipers come with an O2 sensor and they give you a clamp on bung if you dont wanna weld or you can just weld one on or get a collector for your header that has one already
They only showed half of the installation.
@@cabbage4372yep they also didnt show installing the electric fuel pump and removing the mechanical
Was this supposed to be a commercial? lol. I have no use for carbs or throttle body fuel injection but it was still a fun watch.
Then what do you use, "multi port fuel injection"?
@@bobby1970 For me I always recommend any form of OEM multiport fuel injection. LS style stuff. Things that don't require a lot or all proprietary parts.

When does the new season start?
Never motortrend was cancelled 😢
I love this 🎉🎉🎉
O2 sensor????
Tv. Magic
Yep. They did not show or mention it. However, you will need to install the O2 sensor and a fuel return line to the tank.
That's what I thought right away wtf where s the o2 sensor they made it look easy peasy it's not
A 7 minute roadkill garage.
Was this a preview to the show. Or a teaser to the show.
Make all the shows available on Discovery+ in the UK pleeaasssseeeee
Awesome. I'm really tempted to do this to an old Dodge truck I found. I'm torn. Legit resto? Or massive improvement with EFI and electronic ignition? Agony
I want to swap to a sniper ! ..... just need to figure out my fuel return i run a magna fuel 500 that has a fuel return at the pump not sure if I'll need a return at the pump and at the efi
I have a 429 BBF and it has a single plane intake manifold. To install the efi do I need to pick up a dual
Plane intake?
so what is the difference really between sniper 1 and 2? I get it has some upgrades but it also doesn't have a built in regulator which sucks and it cost more too
He mentioned it has better shielding that reduces issues from the nearby ignition system. That's a big plus.
any reason why Holley doesn't lose the touch screen and just get the unit to bluetooth over to your phone?
Why would you recommend holley use bluetooth to apposed to the handheld? Everyone who drives the car would need to download the app, to utilize the vitals.
The Sniper and Sniper 2 like 58.5-60 PSI fuel pressure, directions state set it at 60 PSI. D=Will this change the performance or the self learning?
Sniper Wizard? I played one of those in d&d 3.5
WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE FUEL SYS WHAT PUMP INTANK OR WHAT ??
Where is the actual episode this js from?! Not on Discovery+
So I take it on this new version the throttle plates open progressivly instead of all 4 opening the same ammount when you hit the gas.
I have installed a lot of EFI but the trend is beginning to change back to carburetor for me. One thing that my customers are beginning to learn is long-term storage is not EFI-friendly if it isn't done correctly.
storage correctly or ? i would love to know cause im on the fence about an LS 2 build-
Just me, but it would be cool to see a coil near plug conversion.
Why is this here before it's out on discovery plus?
What episode is this?! I’ve never seen this one!!?
what no burnout the world needs to know
💯 👍
I had the Edelbrock e-street, total trash. The o2 sensor went bad, the idle air valve went bad and the tablet even bricked itself. Oh and their tech service could only tell you to reload the base tune
What is the price for this setup?
too much
$2k +
😅 got one of those for a 1.6 8v G16A
Is this old or new?
When will new episodes start
I want that car I have been looking for a 73 chevelle
223 👍's up Finnegan thank you for sharing 🤗
Enjoy it while it lasts because it won't last long with the hot summer days and the heat of the motor and the vibration cooking the computers in the throttle body, computers don't like heat.
If you had a dual quad carb intake would you put in 2 holley snipers?
Block off 1 side with some plywood 😂
@@fivestar8337 That's no fun!
Yes they showed that you do when they put EFI on the crusher impala
@kassalsup7195 Wrong. That was a MPI system with a separate stand alone ECU.
The Sniper system has a simple ECU built inside the TBI unit.
It can only support a single TBI unit.
sure! and it would only cost 2 million dollars.. and hope you know a computer nerd with a laptop to get them to work right
Next you need to let dulcich paint it🤣
I'm curious the difference in price between this efi and a good carb?
about triple the cost. EFI is about $1300, 2nd hand $1000. carbs new bout $400
@@chevychae2643 then you have to add if you really want the carb to run right a dyno session and jets.
@@krusher74 it definitely depends on the carb and engine but and small cubic inches and a one barrel is gonna run perfect out of the box 99% of the time

A 454 is nice.
Cool commercial
you guys are like Mutt and Jeff 😂 why would I go to this if my Holley 4 barrel is working fine?
Is this what Nascar cup cars run?
No. Seems like Nascar cup cars run a fuel rail and injectors but use a Holley throttle body with McLaren efi.
There are so many things about the Sniper that you left out. Mabe do a better update later.
😎👍
Of course 8 cylinders!
What about the Fitech you put on the Vette Kart? You abused it horribly and it never missed a beat.
Fitech probably won't sponsor that's why they can't talk about it.
I wonder if Freiburger is at the point of throwing a Sniper on over a Carb every time...... I used to be pro Carb (more for the look than anything tbh) but i've fitted two Snipers and honestly i wouldn't go back.
Nobody really go over how they run the fuel to and from it smh
Something so wrong about Frieburger and new paint on a vehicle. ;)
Motor trend is no more I don't know why people think there are any new shows nothing is being taped anymore
Discovery is definitely run by rich guys, not car guys. Why else would we have 27 episodes or Mecum, 5 episodes of "Decarbonization", and 3 Roadkill sporadically placed. Do you know when they are going to destroy the Roadkill, Hotrod Garage, Roadworthy Rescues series completely, or have they not said?
So disappointment in Motor Trend there no new episodes im about to drop it
Spam from Holley Corporation
That just proves you guys can’t tune a carb you can tuneafish!
