A slower car. Assuming it's a mild bolt-on car. Speed density doesn't like major mods. But, they run quite a bit stronger in stock or bolt-on form than mass air cars. Leave it til you need to do the swap.

When doing Heads and intake you should probably switch to mass air. Correct?

If you have plans of putting a bigger cam in(ie. E-303 or larger) it is largely recomended to switch because the speed density can not handle the drop in vacuum associated with a larger cam, very well, it causes idling issues along with a various array of problems. You can put better heads and a better intake and better exhaust as long as you keep the stock cam you should be safe. If you do a search on here you should be able to find more information as to why you should switch, I am actually in the process of purchasing everything myself to complete the conversion, I just ordered my conversion harness, and hopefully I will have the conversion doen this weekend.

Hope this helps
