It is worth going to a carb setup.

Re: Completed tpi to carb swap, and hid kit

It took about 2 days. Make sure you have the right manifold. I got the wrong intake manifold and the bolts didnt fit. So I had to return and get the correct one. It has better pulling than the tpi setup. Make sure the timing is right. Mine is still a little off, it is a little hard to start the car in the morning. But it runs great. Good luck with the setup and have fun.
