Cmon Rusty I didn’t want to play it up. What I should have said is and it does it runs like a scaled cat . $1000 dollars or 2k it really doesn’t matter to me . If you can afford to go down that route that’s ok if not that’s ok aswell. I’m just sharing my experience. People are happy running carbs some others want to venture out and it does come at a cost like everything in this world.I wish you all the luck in the world.....but @67 gt's quote is "it runs pretty good". For over a grand, I better have wet dreams goin down the road. S'all I'm sayin.

Haha yeah I understand I’m enthusiastic I just don’t like to play things up, that’s me . In all honesty a few mates have these systems on their rides and and the same thing they haven’t had any issues and they are pretty happy with them. I’ve replaced the 02 a few months back due to experiencing some wacky afr readings on warm up and would settle once I was driving but it didn’t cause any drivability issues, I went with the ATK sensor and it resolved the problem . I agree with the plug and play it ain’t that straight forward as they claim. One another thing a lot of people put these on engines which ain’t up to scratch oil burners , poor exhaust leaks , air leaks , poor earths and wiring connections where a carburettor would still work but with these systems are very touchy and everything needs to be right for them to work reliable. For the price of these units their wiring looms should have a covering to eliminate the RFI , EMI issues which a lot of people experience due to the ecu built in the front of the throttle body. They did this with the Terminator the ECU box now can be fitted inside the cabin eliminating the RFI issues .I feel sorry for the Ford guys as the distributor placed in front causes RFI problems and they need to run a shield in front of the throttle body just so it will function or when they close their bonnet the unit will play up , open bonnet unit runs fine.
Though not a Mopar I have the Pro Flo 4 on my 427 Windsor in my Mach 1 and it is night and day compared to the dyno tuned Quick Fuel carb that the engine came with.

That was what the guy at Holley said. Where did you find instructions on how to do that? So you are saying that I can forget about springs and program how fast the advance kicks in through the Sniper?
i have a buddy that has installed a few sniper kits.. the one i saw is on a 502 chevy in a chevelle.. holy crap does that ***** run.. he just put one on his charger.. car isn't finished yet so we will see how that one runs..
Yea I hear ya get what ya pay for with fitech. It can work but it's towards the bottom of the barrel system from everything I see about itI will say this.....all the systems I've seen and "very little" messed with have been fitech. I've not seen a Sniper yet and everything I read about them says they are WAY better than the fitech. If I thought for a second one would be total plug and play and end up right......AND fit the theme of my car, I'd consider it.
The only real ***** about it is the mating the Chrysler wire harness with what the Holley wants.. key on and run it a discussion all on its own. Also get a higher amp alt. To support everything if you have a stock one. Fuel pump, fan, ecu etc. Good voltage regulator. My slant 6 one didn’t keep up, went with a 74 model. Holley sells a drop in factory tank 255 pump in the factory sending unit. No return line needed with that unitCurious about installation too, please either keep this going, or do a nice install post that could be made into a sticky, that would be great.
You are right. Did you go down that path? If so, what did you use> Will I need a regulator?An electric fuel pump would have taken care of your cold start issue.
Totally agree!I wish you all the luck in the world.....but @67 gt's quote is "it runs pretty good". For over a grand, I better have wet dreams goin down the road. S'all I'm sayin.
I get it man. I'm just sayin if I spent that and it ran really good, I'd be jumpin in all these threads like this and lettin people know. You seem less than enthusiastic. I've seen some of these conversions first hand helping a local friend try to patch some up that he did......and not one of them ran acceptable. Not one. Plus, lots of people on here say similar things.
Here's where I'm at with it. Until someone can offer factory reliability and high performance with plug and play installation, I ain't buyin it. ....and I may not buy it then.
guess u never read any of my posts about my fast 2.0 set up , love tuning from the drivers seat !!
