is the car not running or something. that would be the only reason that you should change the efi. you won't gain anything unless you get all aftermarket stuff since they are cheaper than efi aftermarket parts. unless you wanna buy my edelbrock performer 5.0 intake for efi.

Oh **** I thought I closed out before I posted this. I had to leave. I was just gonna ask if I had to get a new return line for the fuel and if I could still use the stock computer. it is a manual btw

The only reason I asked was because I am changing the E6 heads to iron GT40p heads and didn't want to go through the hassle of converting to massair. Other things that are going on it are e303 cam and intake and carb. Just thinking it would be easier/cheaper.

That site had some good info. Can I just grab a computer, wiring harness, and Mass air meter from a mass air car to upgrade the speed density?

i don't think you need to switch to MAF with switching heads but i know on those gt40p heads, you need special headers for them go with a better cam though just because they make better ones now days from what i hear

I thought I mentioned I was getting an e303. Oh well, Well I wanted to go with mass air so I can get it out of the way for my future mods. Figured it might be easier to go carb, put an intake and a nitrous kit on after the heads and cam and be done with it. It will be my Sunny Weather and weekend driver more than anything.
