Default RE: Which Engine?

I like carberated because you can disconnect all the sensors and run without any computer with no problems. You can also adjust your air fuel mixture real easy with a carberatur without any kind of tuner. I would stick with a 2.3 unless your going to swap out your hole drive line.

Also a trick I found to pass emissions with hollowed out cats on a carberated engine is you lean you engine out to where it still runs smooth but still pretty lean and you'll pass emissions no problem.
