I was thinking of converting my 85 HO CFI to a carb setup. Is it worth doing ? What kind of hp increase would I be looking it aswell?

Converting CFI to anything else would be worth it. I had a CFI car awhile ago, they all run like crap. Can't do much modding with it easier. Carb would be much easier to put on aftermarket parts.

CFI to carb is the best thing to do if you plan on moding. I have done two, and it is not a very hard thing to do.

Yes there is a guide, but I can’t remember what the website is. Let me look around.
