Hired A Tuner; Holley Sniper XFlow

I know there are a few on here that have the Holley FI systems or want to install one. Let me know what you have & if you tune it yourself.

This is what I got, it's a Holley Sniper XFlow TBI. Good for around 1375hp & has 8 120 lb. injectors. The reason I went this route was for the cooling of the charge temp from the ProCharger; similar to a blow thru carb.

As for the tune, I hired a tuner last week after months of searching. The baseline tune & 3 or 4 data log tunes was $500. It looks like when I'm all said & done. I'll probably have around 1K into the tune. Hopefully I'll learn somethings along the way & be able to do some tuning when done.

Typical reply from ol Pigley the pus, shytting on everyone else's stuff and hoping it blows up.

I guess he forgot about when he kicked the rods out of the Fireturd a couple years back at the first race of the year and didn't have the skill or resources to fix it nor apparently the money for a spare engine so the car set parked for six months. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

That's where the nickname "Broken Rod Pigley" came from

The only question that remains is…is this the year after 10 years trying that you make it to 3rd round at your home track running S/C in the LODRS or is it another first round runner up Laughing very hard

That'll work, usually they'll try to hide what they're doing to a degree, some, not all.

Pay close attention.

I think you'll have a bad dude car, when it's all said & done.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Mike,

The tuner & I have a lot in common. I knew he was retired military, like myself. After chatting, we found out we were both Black Hawk Helicopter Crew Chiefs. He was in the Army & I was in the Air Force.

He's been pretty open so far as to let me learn as much as possible & that has been his reputation during the tuning process. There really isn't much to hide, I'm on version #1 on the tune. When I get him the data logs he wants, he reviews them & sends back the next change/version #_. I get to keep & compare all the changes/versions in my files for review. That's where I should be able to learn things on my own.

There's no plan to lean on this car very hard. I hope to have 2 tune-ups for the car. A mid to high 8 sec. for big money racing & a low to mid 9 sec. tune for the local stuff.

Pigley racing sets the bar high at Epping. Pigley Junior out first round in super street. And not even on the losers list for first round of SC. The only questions remain are, is the turd six fiddy broken? And when is Pigley senior going to get back behind the wheel and show us all how to lose first round on a weekly basis? We all know the answer to #2, he will stick to his polishing/crying towel.

Haters gonna hate! We ain’t at Epping but don’t let the FACTS and the TRUTH get in the way of a 1st round loss and broken car/engine aka fake news, lies and baseless claims driven by jealously, envy and a hurt ego and only a moron posting on an Internet forum can call a S/C car that has been 189+ on the stop, nearly 195 WOT and that has already won north of $6k this season, a turd.
