Very nice man, but yea an EFI fuel pump puts out way to much pressure for a carb, just get a holley blue bump set it around 10psi and call it a day.

Yeah that's why I waited to do this after I got my DD. EFI is more efficient for daily driving but considering on how I ripped everything out of the car it's definitely a track only car trailering it so it's worth going carb'd

I didn't spend too much doing this swap. I sold my stock manifold since it was fairly
New and my cai, plenum, and tb. So it wasn't too big of a hit. What cost me
Money was the msd ignition...and as far as on a stock motor, this is just the first step. I'm putting a big shot on it eventually as I get more money going to port match intake and heads, do cams, and possibly a 5.4 bottom end then it'll be nasty

10 psi is way to much. He ( or anyone for that matter) only needs 6 to 7 psi.
