This is the first vehicle that I've owned with all this damn traction control garbage. Last week was the end of the line. Between Stabilitrak and Traction control, my truck could barely get out of it's own way... And everything defaulting "on" when you cycle the motor was beyond maddening. Best part about all this smart traction bits, they don't work if they don't have power! Truck is a whole new rig. I might even say... enjoyable again. I also added a throttle boost. My truck is a truck again. Anyone else do this?

I pulled the trigger on the Holley Sniper. Best decision ever. For those thinking about doing the same, I have a few notes. -you need to add a fuel pump near the tank. Give it some thought well ahead of time. -Order the full kit and save yourself a lot of hassle -Your old holley throttle cable bracket won't fit, which is ridiculous. You will need a new one from Lokar, and get the round and throttle cable. -you will need to buy plenty of return fuel line. -DO NOT use the breather inlet as a return line... Drill a hole in the sending unit top and use supplied fittings. -Manual says not to pull switched power from the input of the distributor, red wire. They call it dirty power... And I gave this a lot of thought, however, all power leads to the battery. No matter how many relays, wire routes, or added power lines, they all eventually wind up at the battery. So it's all dirty power as far as I'm concerned, because its all connecter via the batter. I'm not an expert, but if you want some help, I'll gladly share what I know. If you're thinking about doing the EFI swap, you should do it. I will never go back to a carb.

Been my project for about 6 years. I finally got time to get some critical things done. New glass in the back, fixed most of the horrible wiring, and threw EFI in. Future plans to add a supercharger, but first I need to fix the chassis. The guy before me butchered the work so I need to re-box the frame over the rear axle. Pushing a 454, full headers, true duals. Turbo 400 12 bolt rear with 4:11 This thing is a tank... heavy, but it feels light when on the throttle!

Anyone have experience with the self tuning EFI? I'm looking at a Holley Sniper for my 454. I plan on running the external fuel pump. Currently running an 800cfm double pumper that is tired and sitting on a single plane manifold. Start up takes 5 to 10 min to warm the damn truck up with no choke. And by the time I get it running, the exhaust fumes just about tip me over. Keep in mind that this is a street cruiser, so I want the ease and reliability of EFI. I'm over the carb. Some locals tell me that the self tuning is garbage, but I've seen numerous success videos online. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I believe I would need a piston system for the 7". The flash suppressor is SAA design. It's actually quite impressive with how well it works keeping the gasses out of my face. I wasn't looking at a suppressor as I like the compact size. And I'm not sure where to find subsonic ammo. But, if I roll the 7", I might do the suppressor... not sure yet. Running the Blade brace. I liked the rigidity more than the sig. For sights I'm using the Burris Fastfire II holographic. I need a 1" riser still. No magnifier. Stock trigger and BCG. This more or a fun gun than anything, but mods are always a possibility. -
The thread that never dies. Impressive
