Oh and also you dont want to keep the tbi with your setup and tbi your car would run like crap and you would have to have a chip burned for it. So unless you like wasting your time and money your doing the right thing by going carb. (No offense to you hardcore TBIers).

Carb is much simpler and will respond well to mods. I was a hardcore TBIer until my lo3 died and I suddenly became a carb guy. I like it.
