Oh boy, I think you just need to stick with your EFI set-up and buy a used procharger, they go for 2200-2400 complete with intercooler, its a bolt on kit

Eh, slap a holley avenger 670 cfm carb on it and be done with it, they are setup for 300 to 400 hp I beleive. check jegs, or summit, or who ever you buy your gear from. the avenger carbs are listed by HP rating and CFM.
