    Holley sniper EFI

    Thanks for the update. I’m going to wait until I save up for a terminator x system. I did see that Holley releases a Sniper 2.  Supposedly all of the “issues” have been addressed 

    Exhaust

    Yesterday I took it out for a good spirited blast to get the coating on the tops hot so it would cure properly. I had all 4 windows down. Sat at 2 stoplights. Didn’t notice anything but I will keep alert for that happening.

    Thanks. No they do not rattle. I kept 1/4 inch between then and the frame and the rocker pinch weld. Also installed a hanger just inside the frame rails and at the rear of the muffler. Engine has solid mounts so the exhaust doesn’t move to much.

    I track my car, you can see my thread in modifiers-pocono raceway. I have 3 inch exhaust and with all of the suspension mods in the rear there isn’t much wiggle room for the tail pipes. If I have to make suspension adjustments I usually burn myself on the tail pipe. My car is lower than usual also. That is why I asked for muffler type also. I can possibly modify my current muffler to tuck up under the car better. Then I was thinking of a 1 1/2 inch x 6-8 inch rectangular exit at the pinch weld

    There is a thread on here that is not too old. Shouldn’t be hard to find. 
    I put a replacement on for a 1988 Monte Carlo SS. I’m pretty sure I needed a new rag joint and adapters to get the lines hooked up.

    Mike, you could put what we referred to as a “cold control” switch in the system( this might be what you are referring to). It is basically a probe that goes into the evaporator and when the temperature gets too cold (enough to cause a freeze up condition) it shuts off the compressor clutch. Most times it is just wired to open a relay that is inline with the compressor clutch circuit

    I retired 3 years ago lol. 
    It’s good. I keep busy with my rental properties and the cars. Looking to build another garage. 
    you should try some of the track stuff at pocono and we should get a drink or something and actually meet some time

    Hey Jason,

    Didn't you have a Monte Carlo at Maple Grove a few years back? Maroon maybe? The car would lift up the front tires at launch and run somewhere in the 10s. I think I may have met you there. I am from Center Valley.

    Mike, We talked a while ago. Back in the 90s I worked at Scott Chevy. You have Curt's car if i am not mistaken. I live right near Strange Brew on the south side. Did you happen to be in Emmaus yesterday with a Maroon Monte?

    I’m still figuring out shock settings and tire pressures. Also some transmission programming. The only problem I had was the coolant temp got up to 225 or so at times. I’m going to try some kind of scoop under the bumper to force air up in front of the radiator
