[DeTomaso] NPT sorta, Lance Nist is now a Chevy LS Motor EFI Guy?

In all fairness to Lance, my first hand knowledge of the man  should be 
considered as well as some of those who have had limited experiences  with him. 
I have been a friend of Lance's at least 15 years  now. He helped me in 
obtaining my Pantera through one of his  clients, many years ago. There is no 
question that Lance is highly  qualified in his field and I've had the 
opportunity of meeting many of his  friends and associates who are well respected 
in each of their fields, be it  engineering, off-road racing, oil, 
alternative fuels, on and  on. They, likewise, have high regard and respect for him.  
His fuel  injection work is not a new story. Having been involved with  
Electromotive for over 30 years, he has also gone on  to develop his own 
systems and inventions which carry  several patents and are utilized by many well 
known corporations and racers from  all avenues.  It was through Lance that 
I was able to meet and have a  ride with Corky McMillin, of McMillin 
Companies.  Corky, a  famed Off Road Racer with his own team, has since passed but 
was an  exceptional person and good friend of Lance's.   As far as Panteras  
go, you'll see notations of him and pictures of some of the cars he was 
involved  with in the book, "DeTomaso Man and his Machines," and his work spans 
 much greater than our Pantera world.  I have copies of published  magazine 
and technical articles dating way back such as, "Turbo and High Tech  
Performance" July 1992, Article "Intelligent Fuel Injection," and "Sand Sports 
Magazine" Winter 1997 on his fuel injection, article  "Screamin' Subaru."  
Then the Chevy High Performance articles.....on and  on. His credits are far 
more involved than I could ever do justice  to.  I have seen and read several 
of  various patents, one example. Sept. '94 for an Engine Valve Actuating  
Device and another for a device that increases the cleanliness of burning  
and significantly increases mileage for diesel vehicles. He is  held in high 
regard in the world of engineers and inventors and I've  personally met 
several of his close associates that are incredibly nice and  brilliant people.  
Okay, he may be perceived as having "high  tuned" personality 
characteristics that are had by most very  brilliant engineer types, but a better 
diagnostician,  engineering scientist, and helpful friend would be hard to find.  
Listening to the few of the stories here (especially from those  involved in 
the EFI trade) is not always the most objective way of  evaluating a person.  
I would trust Lance and his opinions and advice  just as much as I'd trust 
my own brothers (who are my mechanics and  also by trade).  In the past 
Lance has taken great care  of my cars and given me excellent advice for both my 
Pantera and  Ferrari.
