The rise of the aftermarket systems (such as the Sniper) in recent years seems to have pushed the GM TBI adaptation into the realm of a nearly lost art.
My hypothesis with this thread was that the GM approach might be better than the aftermarket in a couple ways:
1) Cheaper - I think we’ve almost disproven one. All the hard parts could be sourced cheaply. The only way it might be cheaper overall, is if you’re willing to learn to do some program tuning on your own.
2) More reliable - I still think this is an argument worth considering. The GM system, although not perfect, has been battle tested over eleventy trillion miles. I think the Sniper/FiTech systems will get more and more common, and will get more reliable. But they have a long ways to go in proving that.
