"he was living vicariously through his customers"
Folks think that we here at EFI System Pro drive the coolest cars on the planet. And we like that you think that. But, as it turns out, the really cool cars are all being horded by our customers. As a result, we are forced to live vicariously through them. Whenever we get a photo of one of our customers cars we secretively upload it to our smart phones and go around telling everyone that we've added another priceless classic to our personal collections.
We don't explain that we are talking about our personal collection of customer car photographs, but that is merely a minor technicality. It's called living vicariously, and our customers are gracious enough to indulge our fantasy with their pictures.
This '69 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a prime example. When Gavin called and asked me if I thought the Holley Sniper EFI System would work well on it, I said, "Oh Yeah!" As far as he knew I was talking about the Sniper EFI System itself, but I was already drooling of the chance to pass around pictures of my latest "acquisition".
Fortunately, while I don't have a '69 Corvette of my own, I do know EFI Systems, and knew that the Sniper EFI System was a perfect match. A straight-forward installation process is coupled with a user-friendly setup using the included 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD display. And since it supports over 600 HP, that was more than sufficient for this summer-season daily driver.
Look what else I have on my, er, ahem, Gavin has on his car:
- 383 SBC built by Doug Herbert
- Turbo 400 with shift kit
- Ceramic headers
- Stainless 3-Inch Exhaust
- Ride Tech coilover suspension
- Hydroboost brake system
- MSD 6AL ignition
- Baldwin Motion tribute paint
- Functional Custom stinger hood scoop
- Canvas soft top
I should point out that Gavin has lovingly named her Miranda. (In retrospect, I could have used that fact up front and gone a whole different direction on this writeup! Oh well, too late now!)
Suffice it to say that Gavin is thrilled with his new Sniper EFI System--and so am I! He gets improved performance and fuel economy while he loses cold start problems and smelling like a gasoline attendant when he drives to work. Me? I get sweet car photos!
More Pictures!
Gavin recently had some more pictures taken. Amazing!

Let us know what you think about Gavin's Corvette. Or maybe you have an beautiful classic that is ready for EFI. Post your thoughts here. :-)
Thanks Chris, I am excited to Share that ICBC our insurance company for all of BC chose my baby as Miss June for their 2019 Calendar. The last picture will be in 220,000 calendars distributed all across British Columbia Canada. Once again thank you for all your expertise!
Thanks for the update, Gavin! It is our pleasure to feature your lovely Corvette as well as to help contribute to its legacy. Keep up the great work!
I have a 1975 Corvette Stingray that has a 496 cubic inch big block with Holley Sniper X-Flow EFI. It's making somewhere around 675 horsepower, and is an absolute joy to drive.
