Need some feedback asap, FI Tech or Holley Sniper? I have a line on the Holley Sniper EFI kit and the FI Tech Mean Street 800 kit.
Both of these are the carb style efi set up. I have a 2005 GM LQ4 6.0L LS based engine with a Texas Speed cam 236/242 .600/.600 110+2 LSA, built 200R4 trans., 1-7/8" headers and 3" exhaust.
Looking to buy an EFI kit, what are your experiences with the kits.

I did a lot of research before installing my Megasquirt.
The FiTech can be iffy. Some people have gotten it to work and work well. But other have really struggled. Some have had to return it because they have never been able to get it to work right. If you can get it to work right, it seems to be a real jewel. It's the least expensive of the two, and I guess you get what you pay for.
The Holley is more expensive, and has more capabilities. I have not read of any significant problems like the FiTech. It's self learning capabilities seem to be one of the best on the market.
Given those two choices, I would go with Holley.

I ended up buying the Holley Terminator TBI kit. 20% off sale and got it right before their price increase that went into effect Dec 1st. Pulled the triger 11/30 so i saved a bunch!
