I just found this, looks like a really good deal?

Whether or not they're a "deal" is in the eye of the beholder.  You're the one spending the money, after all.  :)

As I understand it the series III (your first link) is about the same install as its predecessors, though you either have to convert back to a cable-operated throttle body or go where most haven't and convert the Fiero's throttle to drive-by-wire.

No idea what's involved with a 3.9 install.

With the series III it is a lot easier to just convert back to a series II throttle body and fuel rail and wire as a series II. To be able to use the fly by wire the neeed for the proper gas peadl is not all that is involved, it also requires a lot more wiring and the use of the body computer which will require a good programmer to work on it.
