I don't have but just a small amount of test miles on it so far but it seems to have great throttle response, more power, idles smooth, starts good, etc.
And I expect it to get nothing but better once it has some more miles of "learn time" on it.


So far the only thing I didn't like about the kit was the throttle/kickdown brackets supplied with the kit. They just didnt look as good as the rest of the kit.
So, I opted to modify my Lokar throttle cable bracket to work.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB

Got a few more things done with the engine makeover/upgrades & got the hood back on.

Also, got a few more miles of test driving on it. So far I am very impressed with the Holley Sniper Fuel Injection kit. The truck starts easier than ever before, it idles very smooth, seems to have better throttle response and power.
