If it's an automatic then you have MAF and it's more responsive to changes to the engine. A lot of people spend a lot of money to swap on MAF and I think it would not be smart to downgrade back to carbureted.

ok thank you. what other upgrades could i do? i already have a K&N cold air filter, MSD 8mm spark plug wires, autolite platinum spark plugs, MSD cap and rotor and a Y-Pipe straight exhaust. i want to get more power out of her but im not sure what else there is to do before i have to pull the motor out and dig into it

You haven't even received the full benefits of the other stuff you put on because you don't have headers.

No doubt about the headers. Also if you going that route what about going with different heads instead. With the intake and exhaust off it isn't like there's much else holding the heads on. Don't know the cost differences, but unless we're talking junkyard parts for the Carb conversion I can't see that as being cheap.

Do the timing bump! It's a lot cheaper and easier than a header install too. If you do a quick search for timing bump it will come up
