The question I am throwing out for debate is, in this present age of vast computing power, advanced manufacturing technology, and having the benefit of 40 plus years of experience are there any aftermarket parts out there that are actually better than the factory part they replace? And why is it a better part? What problem has it solved?

I'm not talking about parts that are modernization of a factory part like a Gary Tayman style upgrade of a factory radio, adding delay wipers, or retrofiting a fuel injection system to your truck. I'm talking about a replacement part that is actually better than the original GM piece.
