Bang for buck...........depends on what your priorities are. My bang for buck was EFI. Megasquirt wasn't expensive and I found a manifold and TB for around 580 some years ago. I think in the end I spent about 1k doing a half ass job EFI conversion. For me, it was worth it and not too expensive considering it was a complete change of the fuel and ignition system.

For consistency, EFI all the way.

If the car is a toy then do what you want. You do get performance in all cases when replacing the stock intake and carb lol.

All goes through the crank position sensor for spark and o2 for enrichment. The coolant temp sensor does the the same if cold more fuel if warm less fuel.
AIT sensor reads the temp of the air coming in the intake manifold. Tps gives the computer a percentage of the amount of time the injectors need to shoot out at or how long to stay open. MAP manifold absolute pressure sensor reads pressure through vacuum. Edis gives spark but works together with the CPU sensor .
Is there something I'm missing or not understanding my fuel pressure is set at 45lbs and my fuel is good. How do yall see efi
