Ultimate TBI Mods, are they worth it!

Guys,

I need to know. What sort of seat of the pants difference am I looking at with doing the ultimate TBI mods. I have some small things done with my car but not anything major currently. What have you guys experienced with this, or should I just toss it, dare I say for a TPI?

89, 305, Lo3, eddlebrock headers, high flow cat, pullies, wires, plugs, smog and AC gone, open air cleaner, cat back to come shortly (cat back and maybe LT1 cam(Once I pay for my paint job!))

considering teh mods are free adn they are worht nearly a full mph i most cases i woudl say they are very worth it. especially when put up against teh $800-1200 you woudl spend converting to TPI, not to mention you can do the ultimate mods in an afternoon adn a tpi conversion will take you a few days to do right.
port injection can be more accurate if you get all into tuning and stuff, it will ultimately make more power. but you can get plenty of street grunt out of teh tbi for a lot less.

free mods are always good, just like gutting your car and running a whole 1 or 2 tenths quicker in the 1/4. Cost = 0, performance = ~ 10 to 20hp depending on how much weight you're taking off.
Tim, talk to Jimmy about the a/c delete box. He's going to go look for one for me so don't trouble yourself unless you can find one for dirt cheap.
