New member - My 86 c10 stepside (now with EFI)
« on: November 30, 2018, 01:02:48 PM »
Hi All, I have had this truck for about a year now.  SBC 350, roller cam (mild street/strip), aluminum heads, Holley Sniper EFI, TCI Streetfighter TH350 w 2k stall, 3.73 rear end.  Motor is ~400HP with about 10k miles on it.  Transmission was just finished and installed a few weeks ago.  Three output shaft seals later and it doesn't even leak :P

I am loving the Holley Sniper EFI system.  I bought the master kit that came with pretty much everything needed including the pump, filter, and lines.
This summer I will be looking to start on the interior.  It's not in bad shape now by any means, but you know how it is :P  It does have some really junky bucket seats in it atm that belong in a dumpster.  Will be looking to put a bench back in it when I do the rest of the interior black/silver/grey.  Then it's paint and wood in the bed (the wood in there now is in pretty rough shape, but functional enough).

I'll be digging through the forums for idea's and to answer some of my questions.  I'm sure you'll see some posts from me in the future with new pics and likely new questions.

Linked a picture of the truck and a picture from the end of the Sniper EFI install: https://imgur.com/a/HesDXGC#cBcOYeR

Hello and welcome from Central California.  Looks good!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Peace and welcome
I was just wondering how we’re you able to go with 3.73 gears on a th350 3speed transmission, I tried the same setup and I could not get on the highway, because the gears was pushing to many rpms to the engine. Need help thanks

Easy, I have a Honda Fit for the highway :P
3-3.5k on the freeway is fine IMO as long as you're not planning on super long trips
