    Holley Sniper EFI in a 94 k1500

    The whole purpose of going the EFI route was to avoid having to get a custom chip made up for the truck. If its really not worth going the EFI route, I am more than happy with putting a carb on it and changing out the cam, thats all easy work that can be done in a matter of hours. Part of the...

    Also, http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/engines-drivetrain/1510-how-to-build-a-supercharged-torque-monster-for-3900-out-of-all-new-parts/ this article here uses the same engine and in picture 12, before bolting on a supercharger, with a air gap intake, carb and headers they made 287HP so I don't...

    Holley Sniper EFI in a 94 k1500

    I got that number based off jegs saying you can get up to 260HP with headers and a 4 barrel carb. This is the engine I bought: http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Performance/809/10067353/10002/-1

    Holley Sniper EFI in a 94 k1500

    I understand I'll need the computer for the transmission, I'll also have to figure out a way to put the TPS onto the linkage because the 4l60e also uses TPS to control. I'm not talking about eliminating the computer from the truck, its just that the MAP, EGR, distributor plugs will all be...

    Holley Sniper EFI in a 94 k1500

    Definitely has a lack of performance compared to what it had, setting timing to 0 degrees with the wire unplugged was not enough for that cam because it was stuttering just off slight acceleration a lot, soon as I made it a bit more advanced it runs like a kitty. The 35 inch tires with 3.73...

    Holley Sniper EFI in a 94 k1500

    So a while ago I decided to replace the engine in my truck(350TBI) with a crate engine from jegs. Unfortunately, I didn't do my research and I bought a standard 350, the one they have for $1450 instead of the direct replacement they have for the 350tbi trucks for $1800. Anyway, I had to adapt...

    What are ya'll getting for mpg?

    6 inch lift with 35x12.5x15 tires combined with the weight of the lift kit, steel bumpers and 3.73 gears I get about 20L/100km or as google tells me, 11.7mpg highway. This is with a replacement crate engine for the old 5.7L attached to a 4l60 trans. Pretty light on the throttle, but damn it...

    New 350 into my 94 k1500 tbi, timing question.

    Ok so my 350tbi was getting old, burning some oil, low on compression, time for a rebuild. Well, jegs had a nice crate 350 for cheap, so I bought it without doing my research... swapped the motor in, all went well, even adapting the tbi intake for the old non-tbi heads, however I had this...

    4L60E Auxilliary Cooler Necessary?

    Ok thanks guys, I'll look into a cooler. Initially I wanted to regear but that was crazy expensive, much cheaper to do the cooler. Next question, should I T off the existing cooler lines to the cooler, or should i just run the existing lines straight to cooler and plug the old holes that went...

    4L60E Auxilliary Cooler Necessary?

    I have a 4l60e transmission with the cooling lines for the oil going into the radiator on the right side, of course, seperated from the coolant. My question is, would installing an auxilliary cooler be necessary or would the ones going into the rad suffice for cooling my tranny oil. I'm...

    Engine Stalling After Setting Timing

    I seem to have fixed it. Checked fuel pressure, was running constant 12-14psi so i rechecked my timing, set back to 0 with connector disconnected and cleared engine code. Seemed to have fixed it as everything is more responsive. This time I cleared service light before restarting truck which...

    Engine Stalling After Setting Timing

    What is the 5-7 switch? Also I dont understand why it would be running at about 16* when everything is hooked back up, that seems much too high. When i dialed it back to 8*, the throttle response was there, the idle sounded better... Im at a loss. When set to 0*, as soon as there is load...

    Engine Stalling After Setting Timing

    I have a 1994 GMC Sierra k1500 5.7L v8. Just put a new crate engine in. Once engine was warmed up, i disconnected set timing connector, set to 0* and turned off truck. Plugged timing connector back in, got rid of service engine light, and checked timing. I noticed it was running around 16*...
