Well if your main concern is how often things go wrong there are as many different answers as there are guys with FI.
The experiences on here range from tens of thousands of trouble free miles to blew the engine on the dyno 15 minutes after completing the install and every conceivable condition in between. As I said before the modification of a car creates risk. The level of that risk can be mitigated to some extent but it remains elevated. Unfortunately the increase in risk to each individual set up is not measurable due to the number of variables so we can't assign a number and say "these are your odds".

You have asked if you should go FI in the FI section of a car forum and the answers yet get are likely going to be biased towards "do it" since they accept the risk. You need to be very sure that you also accept it if you decide to go this route.
