I'd go with the bigger Holley pump (the red one or the blue one...I wanna say red. It's 14psi. Whichever one it is.). Especially if you juice it. The throttle cable/linkage should work. The stock CFI cable and linkage from my '84 worked fine without any mods. I hope you've got some good sized fuel lines too. I'd use AT LEAST 3/8". Probably 1/2" if I was looking for 450hp plus some N2O. I'd use a Torker II intake for the street...maybe a Victor Jr. or a Weiand Team G for the strip. Depending on which way you go.
