The SyTy / Turbo Sunbird code appears to be derived from the Fiero
6869/7170 speed-density code.  I haven't looked at the SyTy code all
that much, but every part I have looked at is almost a line-by-line copy
of the Fiero code.  

In the backwards direction, the 6869 code is related to other
speed-density programs.  The 6864 4-cyl TBI has a lot in common with the
6869.  Optimizations present in one but not the other imply that the
branch point is further back.  Perhaps the common ancestor is all the
way back at the (circa 1982) 5610 & 6026 ECMs.
