Don't swap to carb man, just take the time to get to know EFI and how to modify it and you will love it!

i did a carb swap and ran 14.4 in the 1/4 with it before gears and nitrous i love it
if you seriously want to do it pm me and i'll tell you what you need to do
basically run a new 3/8ths return line to the tank with a bypass fuel pressure regulator get a carb intake and a carb new dissy and your good put your fuel pump on a toggle switch too
