Affordable widebands. I believe that's the reason so many people are stacking poweradders now. Ten years ago it was uncommon to even see an EGT guage in a car for tuning purposes. Now you can pick up a wideband for a few hundred bucks and tune the car to perfection with very little hassle and without guessing what your A/F is. I have seen countless pistons melted with the old open loop Accel DFI setups. One wrong keystroke, go lean and instant molten aluminum. The majority of it was trial and error. The cylinder pressures in Shep's 2.0 have got to be something unbelievable on the bottle, and controlling that is amazing, simply amazing.
