power AND computer!

OK, Guys..
'88 ford F-250,351W...stock.
do the aftermarket intakes(500 bucks or so)
and aftermarket throttle bodies(300 bucks or so)
do any good with A speed density engine? converting to mass air...then upgrading to A decent mass air...can be spendy!
hell...the K&N filter is 250!
removing the 'puter...and going old school(edelbrock carb, cam, headers, intake) might be easier and cheaper....ideas?
thanks...

yes the speed density system will handle those mods. what freaks out a speed density system is radical cams with really low lobe seperation. also you can fab up your own k&n piping system for 60 bucks . do a search for getto fab K&N. if you go with these upgrades you should also address the restrictive exhaust manifolds and the rest of the exhaust system. other wise you will not see the true gains of the intake/throttlebody.
