looking for input on this kit

I'm thinking about buying this kit....
http://www.howellefi.com/customer/pr...cat=271&page=1
...for my LG4 to upgrade it. Do you guys think it is worth it? I want fuel injection for my car and I'm resisting an engine swap. I know the benefits of FI. I'd want to build the engine a little, (headers, ignition) so would this kit be able to give some decent performance?

Way, way overpriced for what it is.

Re: looking for input on this kit

I hate to say it is overpriced considering that if you can find a complete harness, TB and sensors on JY for less than $200. However, you must expect to perform some rework (and repair) on a 20 year old harness. EFI kits, like that, are great for easy install, or for electrically challenged, or if you are looking for a super clean installation. From a practical (and if money are short) stand point DIY retro fit from JY donor is hard to beat.
