Those bumpers are freakin' lust worthy...

 

[85roktoy]

It’s the best option for the 8274 in my opinion. Will post pics once installed.

@OPMACHINE bumper installed this morning. Thing is an absolute beast.

Sniper is in! She’s running amazing. Learning right now but everything feels really good. Responsiveness, power, smooth idle and all. Hoping it stays that way. Huge thanks to all that helped me along the way. @mmcinnis @Catching Neutral @GA Architect @wngrog @Skreddy I know I’m forgetting others. This forum is an amazing resource.

Beautiful 40!

Looking good! That is wild to see no vacuum hoses, no egr, no btv, no vsv, etc, etc. You got plans for all that real estate under the hood? lol

just doing some research on Holly Sniper for my 2F. What is the charcoal cansiter looking thing under the air intake? What'd you pay for all the components for the conversion? Mpg and hp gain estimates yet?

My apologies for missing this. The canister is the RobbMC Powersurge. Houses the electric fuel pump for the Sniper.

IIRC I believe everything was around $2k. A lot of misc parts and pieces that I had to get along the way.

MPG’s are around 12 but my Speedo is off so that’s a guesstimate. No idea on the HP. It is a lot more responsive and smoother than the carb from my experience.

Refreshing the Selectros… Thought about switching to Warn hubs but I can’t bring myself to swapping out these beauties.

Rough sanded with a red scotch brite pad. Sprayed with satin black rustoleum then used a 200 grit foam block to scuff the top. Good enough for my liking.

Looks great….can I send mine your way

Excuse my ignorance but what fills the RobbMC Powersurge tank ? I have an ls and the frame rail pump is reliable but loud, would like to add a surge tank to prevent starvation at pick up in stock & aux tank. Main issue is loudness of frame rail mounted pump. what psi does the Sniper use ?

Sniper uses 58 psi if I remember right?

Powersurge is filled and maintained by the stock mechanical pump (or any inline electric low psi pump). Then the powersurge provides the necessary increase in psi to feed the sniper injectors.

Another option may be an in tank pump? My Tank, Inc. pump is noticeable at idle at a gentle whirr, but not audible while driving.

what stops the mech pump from overfill, is there a return or does it have a needle valve to control the fill ? I guess the mech has plenty of volume just not at the high pressure so it is plenty to keep surge full ?

Yes there is a return and yes it keeps the PS full at all times.

 

[peesalot]

the sniper returns to the surge tank or main ?

To the power surge.
