I think I'm ditching the TPI, but I have a few ?'s

TPI is great but I just recently bought a 91 Z28 Vert for my daily driver. My other car is a 85 Camaro with a 406. The best it has gone is 12.80 @ 104mph. This car has great low end torqe (1.60 60ft times) but dies mid track due to lack of being tuned. I have spent way to much money on EFI and am throwing in the towelwhat else besides this will I need to convert?

manifold
carb
fuel pump
cam
and someone told me I'll need a vacume advanced distributer

Bad406Z,
I just completed this swap. Everything is working great, except a few non swap related issues. (rocker arms) Let me know if I can help at all.
