I wouldnt say HP reduction....with the right set up it should be a good HP gain! Its the reliability you will give up. I had two friends both with 5.0L. This is when the cars were only a couple years old. One switched to a good carb set up and would easily walk on the EFI. It was close before the change, but he would lose.
