MM&FF tested a bunch of motors a few issues back, and the 306? with Trick flow heads, 9:1 CR made like 386hp with a demon 750. , pretty awesome! If I were you, I'd keep it Fuel injected, since it has 45k, and it's really clean. But then again that could get expensive,

Throttle body+spacer=$230
Intake=$450
Injectors=$200
Mass air swap=$500?
76mm Mass air=$180
+ probaly alot more, so I'll stop there.

That equals $1560 right there, so a carb is looking pretty good right now. 750 Demon=$350, RPM air gap under $200, +misc. stuff, but cheaper none the less. Just depends on your budget and if you want to tune a carb or not.
