For the most part they're good. And the initial installs go smooth. But when it comes to these "self learning" tunning systems, they're riddled with issues. I was much higher on these kits a year or two ago than i am today. My customer who installed the EPAS kit also installed the Sniper EFI kit and he still hasn't gotten it dialed in quite right yet. Next time i see him i'll ask him exactly what the issue is, but he's complained to me a lot about it. He took it to one of the best Tunning shops in SD and they can't get it right either. So idk....

I'm not so confident anymore that there's any great aftermarket EFI kits out there. These EFI TBI kits are just littered with complaint after complaint. Buggy issue after issue. Whether it's Holley, Fi-Tech, Retrotek....whomever.
Yea they all have their issues. It pisses me off because it had been trouble free for over a year and half I think.

As complicated as they are they're not as forgiving to little problems that carbs don't care about so a lot of pain is self inflicted, and then there are the inherent flaws in systems that trying to do it all for everyone.

I actually plan to get mine tuned and turn off the learning software once I add the procharger, you can set a tune just like for other systems and make them non self learning. That removes all the algorithm and PID loop problematic shit.
