Well ive asked questions on how to swap over to carb, now that i know should i? iI have an 86 t-top, my car is stock besides the jba headers, h pipe, and after market coil. I planned to do a single plane intake, e cam, and 650 holley carb. Am i going in the wrong direction going to carb? Im unsure what to do, carb is way easier to setup then efi, and much cheaper. Help making up my mind would be appreciated.
Swap to carb or stick with efi?

Do what you want... For me it's just this simple:
1) A daily driver = EFI
2) A weekend racer = carb

I agree with that, and i'll also add:
1) Tune your car yourself? = carb
2) Bottomless wallet to have tuner shops tune your car? = EFI
I suppose you could argue that you can tune an EFI car yourself with a handheld device or whatever, but that's a bit tricky without your own dyno as well. Sure, once it's tuned then you pretty much have it set and leave it be unless you change something, but if that's the case and you've got the cash for tuning, i doubt you'd even question the swap in the first place.
Wel alot of cash to spend on my car isnt gona happen. Got a wife going to school full time and a 6 year old boy who wants and gets everything. My toys come last. If i want somthing extra for my car i have to do side jobs or sell stuf on ebay to make the extra cash. I have about $1000 i can blow right now. Im thinking edelbrock rpm intake, $169.00, 600-650 holley dp 329.00, e cam $159.00, aftermarket distributor $200.00, fuel pump $100.00 and misc fuel hose, vaccume tube and air cleaner $100.00. Whats a grand gona do for an 86 speed density system? $500 Alone would goto the mass air conversion kit 
Sounds like you've got a plan. Do yourself a HUGE favor and spend that intake money on a Wieand Stealth...i promise you WON'T be disapointed.
