The plug and play capabilities are so cool. Definitely seems to be running great. Would like to know the before and after times once you get some miles on it.
Im getting something similar done to my 92 gmc typhoon. Maxxecu and a complete harness rebuild. My distributor is now a holley duel sync distributor. Smart coils and wires to update the ignition system which is the whole reason for my rewire. I kept having icm issues due to it being an old distributor vs the turbo heat. Your truck sounds just like my typhoon on startup. I have forged internals, arp main and head hardware. I bought it off a guy and he hadn't put maybe a few thousand miles on it since his build. I honestly don't thing he could keep it running. it has 3inch down pipe and 3 inch atr exhaust. I have a video of it running on my channel when updating my headlights. A rewire and conversion isn't cheap but hopefully it will keep it running strong.
@jdgreen214 that's awesome and nice rides btw! Your typhoon should run out real well! It's been amazing the power difference going away from the factory timing and fuel control has made. Of course the sniper is doing the auto tuning but I've still gone in the software to dial in some heavy rich areas. I'll put a turbo on it eventually once I get the fueling dialed in which I'm pretty excited for.
@V8N8T Thankk you! I really like the 4.3. I wish on the typhoon they would have used a different transmission than the 700r4. It's not bad but the 200r4 on the grandnational when built can stand a good bit of power. I'm not looking for crazy power on the typhoon. I think 400 to 500hp is good enough especially since the typhoon only weighs 3800lbs. Good luck on your truck. Mine has been gone for a year now. I will make my last payment soon, fingers crossed he doesn't find anything else that needs to be replaced. Mine ran pretty good as you can hear in the video. It's that that icm kept going out. I literally have about 10 icms. I have a few distributors too that I will no longer need. I even bought a custom billet heatsinc to mount under the icm. My grandnational being distributorless helped a lot and they didn't have the ignition issue the typhoon/syclones have.. Also the grandnational is SFI while the typhoon is batch fire.
@jdgreen214 i agree the 4.3 is a great motor! Thanks we will see how long the stock 4.3 lasts with boost and not opening up the ring gap(or anything else as far as internal upgrades) I think it should last for a while as long as the tune is safe and I'm not too greedy for boost!🤣 can you put a 4l60 or 6l80 in it? I'm not sure how well the 6l80 handles power but in stock form in a suburban compared to my parents 4l60 it accelerates much faster
@@V8N8T The 700r4 and 4L60 is basically the same transmission. It was used on the C4 corvettes and the typhoon. The transmission is fine under stock conditions. Most people are putting in the 4l80e. You have to use some adapter hardware to make it fit. Sean Krupa out of Illinois is the sy/ty guru. He got his typhoon in the 10 second range with the holley setup like you have. He had the stock motor and transmission built, but he that's still impressive on basically stockish parts. His big change is getting the truck to run on e85. My grandnational is running 20 pounds of boost and I'm using razor alcohol injection. I make sure to use the test button before I take it out for a drive. My grandnational is a 11.5 quater mile car which on paper is about 500hp. The key to the grandnationals legendary power isn't its horsepower but it's legendary tourqe. Once that turbo spools the tourqe comes on at somewhere around 2800 to 3000rpm. They do run out of power near the top end but in the quater mile it give almost every muscle car to this day a scare. I have had guys in mustangs, scatpacks, and other muscle cars try me. It's scary because it's like foot down on the accelerator turbo lag then boom! I'm looking at 70 miles an hour. Most cars with their advertised hp is done on a treated track with a great driver. We know real world conditions are different. There's a video of a stock typhoon racing the dodge srt truck with the viper motor. The typhoon runs the quater mile in 14.1 seconds stock showroom floor in any condition except snow. The srt truck does it in high 13s. The typhoon hits its number because it's awd. You, me,, or any amateur driver can launch it and it runs those numbers. Taking into consideration the srt is a lot heavier being a full size truck. To give you some comparison of cars the typhoon is equal too or is just as fast. It's as fast in the quater mile as the 96 impala and the trailblazer ss that came out in the early 2000s. Crazy huh? of course 14 second quarter mile is slow by today's standards. Remember the pickup version the syclone was a 12 second truck stock. It held the record for fastest truck for 30 years! The video with the ty racing the srt truck has a lot of comments from mopar guys saying it has to be a modified typhoon to beat the srt truck and the sy guys are like if it's modified the guy needs to get his money back because it's running stock numbers.
So far the sniper, it is so fast on the learning and pretty much turn key out of the box( although I'm still taking fuel out manually on the cold enrichment)
@jeremiahwillis8534 in spirited driving yes. It's getting more fuel(which you can adjust) at wot and part throttle, but it also has more power. Factory is fairly lean for emissions. Cruising down the highway or driving like a normal person it has actually gotten the same or a little better by a couple mpg than stock which was surprising. Honestly the factory efi has so many hours of fine tuning on motors it's hard to beat so a system like hp tuners would be a better choice to "improve" your fuel or timing curve. In my situation I already had most of the parts and it was a easier and cheaper option for me in my 96. It was also a fun challenge getting everything to work well together and function as it should.
@somenamelessdude8095 my truck originally didn't have a tachometer and I found this on eBay that had a few more thousand miles than the truck. Simply swapped it out and everything worked as factory even when it had the factory efi
It had leaking injectors, also being a 96 there was work and money that I wasn't willing to spend to make it tunable, it will be getting a turbo at some point and this was the most affordable way for me to do it(I'll also be able to use the sniper when it gets a sbc)

Definitely impressive. Will do it already feels a lot faster
Nice setup. good looking truck.
Thank you

That sounds spicy brothe.

hi. What is the brand and model of the OBD display?
@photolakes it's not a obd display, it's the handheld monitor for the holley sniper efi system i installed on my engine
Question? Where did you get the aluminum throttle body cap/bonnet for air intake?
That is made by spectre. I'm wanting to say I bought it on Amazon years ago but I can't recall. They are pretty common just look up carb hat
@dgc940 it's a spectre SPE-9849
Between the FI Tech on the Bug and the Sniper, which do you like better?
So far the sniper, it is so fast on the learning and pretty much turn key out of the box( although I'm still taking fuel out manually on the cold enrichment)
@@V8N8T I have an opportunity to buy a sniper setup for my 1915cc buggy. All new never used with a RAD intake. I like the idea of FI for sure!
Is it a 2 barrel or 4?
Does the sniper worsen the fuel mileage ?
@jeremiahwillis8534 in spirited driving yes. It's getting more fuel(which you can adjust) at wot and part throttle, but it also has more power. Factory is fairly lean for emissions.

I get really good oil pressure I guess, and that screen would cover my check engine light if it comes back on
@@somenamelessdude8095 there ya go!
@@V8N8T tbh I have tachometer envy, especially after rebuilding my 4l60e. It's a nice option regardless of the transmission
@somenamelessdude8095 my truck originally didn't have a tachometer and I found this on eBay that had a few more thousand miles than the truck. Simply swapped it out and everything worked as factory even when it had the factory efi
@@V8N8T Nice, it's all plug and play I guess. Damn things are so cheap to maintain, besides the auto trans, you don't have
@@somenamelessdude8095 ya gotta love that !
Why rip off the original gm fuel injection??
It had leaking injectors, also being a 96 there was work and money that I wasn't willing to spend to make it tunable, it will be getting a turbo at some point and this was the most affordable way for me to do it(I'll also be able to use the sniper when it gets a sbc)
because it was garbage , google it .
pretty low oil pressure at idle
It has plenty, 10 lbs per thousand rpm is the minimum rule of thumb from what I've been taught.
