TBI or Carb manifold with adapter

i have a 5.0 TBI and i was wondering would it be better for me to just get the edelbrock TBI manifold or the carb manifold with the adapter...i was thinking about getting the adapter and carb manifold so i would have unlimited choices of n2o systems for much cheaper than the TBI nos system (550$ compared to carb setups which usually run about 350$) the carb manifold seems like the better deal...after the adapter and a nos plate i figure im gonna need more hood clearance...will just be a good excuse to get a 4'' harwood cowl :lala:

Ouch, 4 inch cowl for a TBI car, the opposite of sleeper :P

Anyways, I think the carb manifold might be your best choice

Just don't forget that if you go with a carb manifold like I did, you'll have to fab. your throttle bracket a little, bend your hard fuel lines and brake vacuum line a little bit if you wanna use the same ones. If you ask me, it will be worth the 200 dollars that you'll save if you get a N02 kit like you mentioned
