confused/ mass air vs. speed density

well i rebuilt my engine (302efi) to a little better than stock but still mostly stock, got my heads surfaced, new lifters, pistons .030 over, and other rebuild parts, i also put in comp cams, then jba headers, gibson exhaust and the k&n filtercharger, i also changed some of my vaccum lines with copper tubing (looks pretty cool too) but what im asking is do i really need to change my speed density system to mass air after doin these mods? because ive been reading some other forums about this and they got me a little nervous like the computer not adjusting and engine surging so i was wondering if i really need to convert to mas air cause im pretty much done fixing up the engine till i get my trucks rear end rebuilt (you wouldnt know of any kits i can buy?) and get it lifted but i have to make the money too, i am only 17 so money isnt there when i only make min wage so any suggestions would help

With the possible exception of the cam, you should be fine with sd.

The most critical factor in the cam, for sd, is the lobe seperation. It needs to be 114 deg or greater.

Intake and exhaust mods won't hurt anything.
