Sniper EFI Systems for Quadrajet™applications eliminate the need to continually rebuild 50-plus-year-old Quadrajet ™carburetors on classic Chevys, Pontiacs, Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and GMCs. Able to support up to 500 naturally aspirated horsepower with four 100 pound-per-hour injectors, it’s the first bolt-on spread-bore electronic fuel-injected throttle-body system that doesn’t require additional adapters, sealing plates, or intake manifold swaps.
The Sniper EFI Quadrajet™ boasts the same great features as the 4150 Sniper EFI version – a 3.5-inch full-color touchscreen for initial setup, tuning, and gauge displays, multiple fuel-inlet configurations for a totally stock appearance, and integrated timing control – and it’s compatible with most stock air cleaners. Installation doesn’t get any easier, and with the throttle-body-mounted ECU there are no extra boxes to mount. Just four wiring connections are required – battery positive, battery negative, switched ignition, and RPM – and a calibration wizard takes care of everything (no laptop required). Just answer a few basic questions
It seems that we keep hearing about people going to car shows, only to have their car stolen while they sleep.
A few months ago, we told you about somebody that had their entire truck and trailer, with a classic Corvette in the back, stolen. Now Gary and Vicki Pasch’s, while going to Bloomington Gold in Indianapolis, had their 1965 Fuelie Corvette taken while they slept at a local motel.
As is the case with most classic car owners, this 1965 Fuelie had massive sentimental value to them, as they had bought it 47 years ago as newlyweds.
After 3 months, the couple had given up hope of ever seeing their car again, but then the phone rang. On the other end was an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer who informed them that their car had been found in a storage unit just a few blocks away from the Motel it was stolen from.

Is it true that the C7 ZR1 lapped the Nürburgring in 6:57 and the C7 Z06 in 7:10? Well a photo, allegedly posted by Jim Mero’s wife Terri, on Facebook shows a collage of Jim allegedly driving several different Corvettes on various tracks. Since Jim just retired as the ride/handling engineer and test driver for the C7 Corvette team, this collage seems to be the perfect retirement gift. Interestingly, the numbers underneath the photos seem to be the lap times at Nürburgring; most of which have never been officially announced!! Clever Terri.
Here are the vehicles pictured on the bottom row of the collage and the time posted:
C7 Z51 7:33 (S)
C7 Grand Sport 7:27
2009 ZR1 7:26
2012 Z06/Z07 7:22
2012 ZR1 7:19
The Holley LS Fest (East) was held this past weekend at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A festival for all things LS and LT, the event proved to the world that the small-block Chevy engine is far from antiquated. This video from 1320 Video shows some of the engine’s capability.
In full disclosure, records were broken, and so were a few parts. When pushing a car to the limit, sometimes that occurs before you reach the finish line, but if you’re lucky like the owner of this white Stingray Corvette, you may have enough in the bag to still carry home a record run.
