Convert carbureted or MAF

I have a 92 f150 5.0l automatic trans read wheel drive all stock
so my goal with this truck is to make a show/ race truck, pretty much get as much horsepower and torque out of the motor. But with speed density idk if I could get the most out of the motor. So would a carburetor conversion or a MAF conversation be best?
any help would be awesome

What automatic transmission? An E4OD or 4R70W will need input from engine sensors and the pcm or a stand alone controller to shift.

Personally I would never go backwards to a carburetor but that is your decision to make.

Don't convert to MAF
Buy a Pimpx PCM and throw whatever mods you want at it.

By the time you spend the money on either conversion you could have bought an aftermarket system.
Ad conanski said get a pimpx system

There are many bolt-ons that can be done with speed density, without aftermarket tuning; headers, exhaust, roller rockers, intake, torque converter, & a valve body upgrade....and even a 4.10 gear swap if so desired. In some cases, you could also throw in a speed density friendly cam as well and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, but that'll be the extent. From there, you will need to upgrade the fuel system and aftermarket injectors.
