OK, so the cam will stay stock. I appreciate everyone's input, especially Helmut's explanation of why I should postpone this modification. However, since it was brought up:

Although I am perfectly content with my 87 GT hatchback, I would / will be looking for a coupe when / if another car seems to be a better option. I plan on purchasing a new engine sometime soon as this old one needs to go. However, as I stand with the speed density currently still in place, would a swap from EFI to carb. be simpler than getting an engine and converting it to MAF? I have 176k on this car, and when I get the engine done, I am going to get a built one. Would it be better to just convert to MAF and get another EFI engine, or is it rather simple to go from speed density to carbed? (Or which one is a better option?) I have been wondering this for a while; Obviously there are advantages and disadvantages to both, just looking for some input on the matter. Like I said: new topic, but since it was mentioned, figured I'd take advantage of everyone's knowledge.
