No worries until you start modifying things under the hood.
so to what extent of modification will i be okay without adding a MAFS?No worries until you start modifying things under the hood.
heads, cam, anything that has to do with money. lol.
but its better to go ahead and convert if plan on doing upgrades down the road.

wow this is an old thread...
you can go pick a MAFS off a junkyard car, or they sell conversion kits.
