I'm skeptical the version 2 will be better. For years the version 1 was heavily advertised as the greatest thing since sliced bread  Holley invested a lot in magazine articles to push this system. I scoured the internet for a long time reading real-world reviews and the overall consensus was very negative with too many pesky system problems. I had been considering it myself for some time but the internet talked me out of it. I also see a LOT of barely used systems for sale on Marketplace in my area. Seems pretty common for people to install them, discover how awful they are, and abandon for a different system or carb. There are some success stories out there, but I've noticed most of them haven't been using the system for long.

I was reading up on the Sniper 2 seems really awesome especially now that they can control the later electronic overdrive transmissions
Isn't it great that Holley comes out with a sniper2 that solves all the problems I had to work around just as soon as I get my sniper1 installed?  ::)

Haha always seems like that right?

I had a similar experience with MSD and the billet optispark

Holley sells an upgrade kit for Sniper 1 users to basically make it a sniper 2.
