Unfortunately throttle body injection is so outdated, it's not even a comparison anymore. Not that great of a design either. I tossed the tuning software for that stuff a long time ago,,,very primitive computer that doesn't have much "fine" adjustment. Burning chips is a thing of the past nowadays, very few tuners out there even mess with it anymore, and I figured I'll never own another TBI and I rarely had a customer with it. Even the Multiport stuff starting in 86 was only slightly better thanks to the individual injectors per cylinder, but it still had a primitive batch fire system running it.

When OBDII took over it's pretty much been the mainstay of fuel injection systems since. Even Edelbrock and FAST make an excellent fuel injection setup I'd take over a TBI setup.
