    if you want to go slow run that carb

    your going to need gears and a large converter to work with that setup

    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    I actually have a GMHTP magazine where they are testing Comp cams and every time they test a cam with injection vs carb the carb wins in HP and TQ numbers. Maybe they didn't tweak the tune enough but all four cams had better numbers with the carb.

    your going to need every bit of a stall along those lines for that cam in the motor. not to mention you should bump compression up to around 11.0
