[DeTomaso] New Fuel Injection recommendations

I have a tec 3 system in my white car. I probably have $5000 in it with all the dyno time. Full on throttle it runs great.  But idle and trying to accelerate slow it kind of acts like it does not have too much power.

So on my daughters car I put the Holley sniper system because I want it to just start and run well without a choke.  It runs real good all the time.  I really like it.  I would buy it again
