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.

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
