keeping the injection, but having to convert to mass air, or should i go with a carb set up? the car will be a weekend driver for fun, and maybe a trip to the track here and there. i am looking to get 350-400 hp. plan on a new motor with aluminum heads, cam, intake, rear with 3.73's, tremec, etc....i was originally just thinking of converting to mass air, and going that route, but now i have been thinking maybe i go carb. any help would be great fellas.

i would do the mass air swap and stick with the fuel injetion carbs are for the past and they should be left there,nothing more than a giant fuel leak !

EFI> carb.

Nothing wrong with an EFI engine. If anything, easier to tune IMHO
