Default Best H/C/I combo to go with

I have an 87 lx with the following mods:
CAI, Full Exhaust, Suspension, underdrive pulleys, 3.73s

I wanted to do an h/c/i swap next it seemed like the best thing to do
Im not looking to spend a whole lot, and just wondering what the best set up is for an h/c/i sawp on a budget

well since you have a 87 you need to convert to MAF. do that first. otherwise the h/c/i will be wasted

you can do heads and an intake no problem but the cam will have to be carefully chosen

ive been reading up about MAF conversion on here and it seems the best way to go is a junkyard and buying parts here and there from places like ebay
its probaly a good idea to do that first then HCI swap

that would be the best way to start. you hit the nail on the head with that statement.
