I agree with everything you say here......BUT here's the thing that I don't like about it. Millions of factory units operate trouble free for hundreds of thousands of miles. Get in, turn the key and go. For YEARS. New cars cost a lot of money. As long as you shop around and don't buy a POS, you get your money's worth.
So, why isn't it like that with aftermarket EFI? Don't come back and tell me it is, because it's not. Although the cost has come down some, for what everything costs to get EFI up and running, there should be a disease free hot blonde jump out of the box, install it for you, screw your brains out when she's done and it should run flawlessly for many years. Ok, maybe scratch the hot blonde thing.
My point is, for the cost outlay, aftermarket EFI should be the best and easiest thing going for our older cars. It's not. Even professionals who do installs every day and do read everything and comprehend it have far from a 100% success rate. The products are simply "not good enough" in my opinion and I'm not alone in my thinking.
