[DeTomaso] How much has EFI advanced over the past few years?

Thanks, Ken and Jeff.. partially answering my own question I see FITech, MSD, and Holley all offer systems that appear to be the panacea.
Roughly $1000 for just the unit, or $1200 with a fuel pump and complete installation kit. The reviews for the three seem to be similar – the majority of people are thrilled, but there’s a small but consistent minority that had serious problems. Cutting and pasting from reviews:
“ I received 2 defective units that would never sync up to the ECU and my final 3rd Sniper finally did work.”
“Quit running after 15 miles
Summit Racing Verified Purchase
My car ran beautifully at first then quit. Throttle body is not reading a rpm signal. All connections have been checked. I await return paper work to send the unit back.”
Most people are pretty pleased though. Some comments about installation being a little more complicated than promised. Any other firsthand feedback regarding installation on a Pantera?

I think FAST, Holley, and MSD all have bolt on single 4V throttle body EFIs that practically tune themselves, but you will need am EFI fuel pump and I'm pretty sure a O2 sensor in the exhaust. They all seem to have these for around $1,000.

What's the current state of advancement in the fuel injection world?
Has someone perfected a bolt-on system that can substitute a 4bbl carb,
can be installed in minutes, only requires a couple of wires and an
exhaust bung, and that's it?
It would automatically map itself by just driving around, and give
absolutely crisp performance. It wouldn't require fiddling, and would
work just as well as a carb that's perfectly, absolutely, dead-nuts on.
Oh, and it would cost less than $50. Just kidding, but perhaps under
$1000 for everything. Anyone have any first-hand experience?
