Self tuning EFI

[Squirrely]

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 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.
