Deep Dive: Sniper EFI 5-Inch Touchscreen Digital Dash

There are many performance benefits of running a Sniper EFI system, but one of the key points of any Holley Sniper is that you don’t need a laptop for programming the system. The supplied 3.5-inch color touchscreen provides easy access to the data and calibration points required to get the EFI system dialed-in for your system.


There’s a lot of useful data coursing through the handheld such as coolant temp, voltage, TPS, MAP and many other engine specifications that car-guys like to monitor while driving. All of these parameters can be viewed through the handheld in real time, but if you really want to keep a watchful eye on the details involving your Sniper EFI equipped engine, Holley just introduced a 5-inch Digital Dash that simply plugs-in and provides an easy-to-view look at your driveline’s operating parameters.

Sniper EFI users rejoice as Holley just introduced a new 5-inch Digital Dash that connects in place of the handheld programmer. Not only does it display engine data, it can also be used to tune the EFI system.


This new high-resolution screen is a direct descendent of Holley’s professional series of digital dashes used with the race-level Dominator and advanced Terminator EFI systems. The new 5-inch Dash provides three different displays of drivetrain information from the popular Sniper EFI systems such as throttle position, air/fuel ratio, manifold pressure, and more, plus it provides GPS signal for speed!


“The new 5-inch Dash provides an outstanding view of engine data in real time, saving you the hassle of installing additional gauges under the dash of your car,” Colin Kinser of Holley explained. “Not only does it function as a dash, but it also can be used as a touchscreen to tune and calibrate your Sniper EFI.” Being able to tune the Sniper EFI from the dash is one feature that even the higher-level digital dashes don’t have and really comes in handy if you want to tweak a rev limit or the ignition timing of the Sniper system.

The Sniper 5-Inch Dash has three different backgrounds to choose for your application. Notice the speedometer? The Dash comes with a GPS speedometer and antenna!


The new display has the same built-in Wizard technology that allows you to tweak and tune as you see fit while out on the road. It even provides the technology to data log details during a run or to assist in troubleshooting.


Another unique feature is the ability to mount the dash in the interior, and still use the handheld for tuning or watching engine vitals while you’re under the hood. “We offer a splitter harness, part number 558-465, that allows you to have the Digital Dash and the handheld connected,” Kinser said. “It really comes in handy while fine tuning your Sniper EFI system.”


Another useful feature that the 5-inch Dash brings to your interior is a GPS based speedometer. Holley includes a magnetic GPS antenna so you can easily setup a speedometer which makes life much easier for vehicles with late model transmission swaps and old mechanical driven speedometers. The GPS speedometer is a snap to set up and has a matching tachometer display sharing the screen.


There are three pre-programmed background screens you can select to match the style or look of your interior and with the swipe of a finger you can view different screens that can be customized with different parameters. For example, you can have one screen for casual driving and another setup for racing. The high resolution screen is easy to view, even in bright sunlight, yet can easily be dimmed for night driving with a touch of the screen. Accurate, real-time driveline data, cool looks and easily customizable for your application, not to mention saving time money on duplicate sensors or other gauges.

The GPS speedometer is a snap to set up and has a matching tachometer display sharing the screen.


“To help mount the 5-inch Digital Dash, we supply a sturdy suction cup mount with two different length stand-offs. This really eases where and how users can position the screen for their application,” Kinser pointed out. With its increased color intensity combined with twice the resolution of other screens, the new 5-inch dash delivers high tech data to the cabin of any vehicle running a Sniper EFI system in addition to touchscreen tuning capabilities.


The 5-Inch Sniper Digital Dash is one product that literally looks as good as it works!
