i would personally just get the mass air...I doubt that cam is too friendly with the speed density.

you'll get much better gas mileage by doing the MAF conversion, but the carb will probably be more driveable and produce more power.

It really depends on what you are doing with the car...

carb is really good an cheap for high hp applications..although efi has its benefits too..they both are basically a personal choice. carb has its downfalls as well does efi.
