Congratulations!!! Thats awesome!!! A little earlier than expected, even better. She must be eager to ride in the Camaro. Katelynn would like the ride better if it was supercharged and lowered!!!

Stan is using the same hoses I am. Here are the numbers: I am using Gates part numbers: 20603 and 22373. The lower hose will need to be shortened but the top hose fits perfect uncut. The lower hose will only work with a 15 degree swivel water neck like the one from Street and Performance. Stan is probably busy driving the daughter around in his badass Camaro.

Holley efi is awesome!!im so glad I went with this system,my car seems to run better and car feels faster than what I had before!!if my car was a stock motor it would have been plug and play,but since I had a cam and ported heads the idle area needed some adjustments to get it to idle properly!!im a total noob to tuning,and am pretty lost!lots to learn!!with some help from sound engineer (really knows his holley efi)here on the forum and some stuff I tried from advice from Holley techs,the car idles best it ever has!!I had to make little changes like adjusting idle rpm and added couple degree of timing to idle area!also had to adjust my IAC via throttle body screw!other than that it was all Holley efi self learn!!if I can do it anyone can!!with me adding the kenne bell this fall and possible wanting to try different pulleys ,the self learn of the fuel table was a must!!!im very happy with the result of this system!!
