Title: EFI or Carb
Post by: 86Tbuzzard on August 12, 2005, 02:57:03 PM
hey guys, I got a question and I'd like your opinions...Should I convert to HO intake, computer, MAF, injectors, or should I go to a 6 pack or dual 4bbl setup? A guy that I know builds carb kits for like 1500...

6 pack and a dual quad is much more carb than your 302 would ever need, while it looks cool, the car would run like ass

just go with an HO setup, stuff is only as expensive as youre willing to, its not hard to find stock HO stuff

You really won't have to go to mass air. That is unless you do the full H.O. conversion to your existing motor or swap in an existing H.O and do significant modifications. If the motor is going to be basically a stock H.O., it will run fine on speed density.
Heres the info on converting your existing motor to H.O.

i would suggest going with a carb

a holley 600 vac secondary and a preformer or performer rpm intake will work just fine on a mild 302
