Holley Sniper vs Terminator

So Sniper EFI systems are made in the US.

Fi Tech is manufactured in China. Their parent company, Fuel Injection Technologies, LTD build and designs EFI systems for OEM Chinese vehicles, and FiTech is a spin off of that.

So hopefully that should help with anyone making a decision on these TB EFI systems. US made or China made.

The original question in this thread was Sniper vs Terminator, not country of origin. Not sure how this went in another direction.

I'd get the Terminator.
If you ever want to use a carb again or go MPFI like posted above, the HP ECU is still vary useful.

I'm going with the MPFI as I have a Pro Flo already and found out I can get a retro kit for it 😎

I think making assumptions regarding the Sniper's country of origin is a mistake. There are multiple threads on the Chevelle forum regarding the Sniper system and I am pretty sure that Doug F. who is in charge of the whole EFI program, posted that the Sniper is not made in China. I don't have time to look for that thread now.

Holley does a ton of manufacturing in Bowling Green, KY and a lot of their EFI stuff is made in Canada.

The most notable difference between the Sniper and the Terminator TB systems is the ECU. Sniper is fully contained and the ECU is in the TB itself. The Terminator TB system uses the HP ECU, which has a 8 I/Os for various functions.

The post ask about Sniper and FiTech, I think country of origin is an important buying decision.
