Has anyone used it? Picked it up for 870$ and seems to be a pretty complete kit minus fittings. Going on a mild 350 in a 95.

Looks a lot like the Fitech "classic" kit. There are a couple of Fitech facebook groups that share a lot of info.

I’m putting a Jegs Bandit on my ‘95 C1500 with a 350 crate engine right now. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Chinese FI system, custom-labeled and packaged for Jegs?
It's the original FiTech system, licensed out to Jegs, Summit, and anyone else.
Refurbished Snipers are back on Holley's site for $950. Just be aware there's about $50 worth of additional parts to make it a bolt-on to our trucks.

Holley Sniper EFI FR550-510 Holley Sniper EFI Self-Tuning Kit - Shiny - Factory Refurbished
The Sniper EFI Factory refurbish process starts by stripping a used or blemish Sniper EFI throttle body down to the bare casting. From there, our highly trained factory refurbish technicians flow the original fuel injectors. If any injectors fail to meet our flow standards they are replaced with...

How does timing get controlled with using one of these? Change the distributor to a vac advance? Or is there some other way?
This seems like a good upgrade for the money from a stock TBI?
Mass flow, rather than speed density should be more accurate?
No need to upgrade the throttle body and get / learn a tuning solution... this all comes as one package... I'd combine it with a new cam, vortec heads, vortec > carb manifold and should build some good power, right?

At first I kept running the factory distributor with the factory computer, but I eventually "upgraded" to the Sniper Hyperspark. That was expensive for not much gain, but I can now control my timing with the handheld.
I believe it's a speed density system, but to the end user it doesn't matter except as "gee-whiz" info. You bolt it on, hit a few buttons, and fire it up. The "which is more accurate" question is for bench racing, the system works and self-tunes pretty well.
I built a motor with too much cam for the factory TBI. I have Vortec heads, a Summit Vortec carb manifold, and a Vortec fuel pump. The Sniper was definitely a good upgrade, but they nickle and dime you on small stuff.

I've been running the Jeg's Bandit on my '95 for the past six months. The engine runs great; definitely an improvement over stock. I need to get a Throttle Position Sensor-style throttle cable in order to get the transmission to shift properly. The TPS on the Bandit doesn't talk to the truck's computer so it doesn't know when to shift properly. It up-shifts at 22mph, 38mph, and 52mph regardless of throttle and it doesn't kick down when floored. The 4L60E transmission isn't receiving a TPS signal so it doesn't know what's going on.

I have been thinking about a aftermarket fi system for my 90 k2500
