For some of us that understand the value of a true EFI system that will
respond with ignition control and response to all senses a GM system does.
My exposure to Fuel Injection started back in 1988 with a Cad 500.
These throttle kits just does not much to controlling ignition timing,
Ignition timing is vital to overall performance.
Sometimes one need to tackle few sensors and wires when trying to gain more
function control and availability of parts.
