Holley upped the ante on fuel injection swap kits with its newly redesigned Sniper 2 Self-Tuning Throttle Body EFI system. And while we recently wrote an entire in-depth article on the Holley Sniper 2, we wanted to share another video with you.
This time, the Summit Racing video team is giving you a side-by-side comparison of the new Holley Sniper 2 EFI system and the original Sniper 1 that was released about a decade ago.
This quick video will address some pretty obvious and important topics, namely what’s new and improved over the older system. And it dives into plenty of specifics on the Holley Sniper 2, showing you exactly how those improvements and refinements will benefit you.
See Sniper 2 Self-Tuning Electronic Fuel Injection Systems at Summit Racing.
You’ll also get a good look at the installation and setup of the Holley Sniper 2 Throttle Body EFI system as well as how Holley has designed the system to play well with its other products, like Holley distributors, fuel pumps, regulators, and beyond,
All told, this is a handy video to bookmark if you’re thinking about swapping your carburetor for modern electronic fuel injection. And it’s only about five minutes long, so it’s an easy one to watch too, check it out:
Does it also have a 2 barrel version? And better meaning more expensive? How much?
Hey Gary, right now (Aug. 2023) the Sniper 2 system is only available with a 4 bbl throttle body. For current pricing, click here for the return-style Sniper 2 systems and click here for the returnless Sniper 2 systems.
The sensors you mentioned….Where do they go, and how are they secured. The ad says 800 cfm. Is this part of the self learning? I know I will never need 800 cfm. Kit really looks good. Please reply. Thank You. Tom
Hey Tom, thanks for reading.
For starters, the Sniper 2 uses both a coolant temp and O2 sensor. You can read a far more thorough installation walkthrough in this Quick Start Guide direct from Holley, it should tell you where/how to install the sensors. (You can always contact the Summit Racing tech folks directly for more details too.)
And yes, the CFM is 800, and the Sniper 2 system supports up to 650 horsepower (Naturally Aspirated) or 575 hp under boost, and it’s a self-learning system. Good luck with the swap!
I would really want to try the electric carburetor I been trying to understand the connection but I still can’t get the right way to do it.
I just took an EF 1 off my 312 T-Bird because it quit about every third time I would stop. Holley couldn’t help me, so I am happily back to my old carb.
