Just bought a 5.7 for my Duster

I would opt for a carbed application. If your not familar with EFI tuning, I'd stay away from it especially when you'll need a good set of heads, valve springs and cam package to get to your hp goals. With the truck intake you have, hp flattens out at 5600 rpm. I like the looks of the Edlebrock dual plane, but have never had the chance to dyno'd one yet. Your stock rods are good to about 7000 rpm. Above that I've seen the big ends go out of round.


Im kinda tossed between the idea, I would much rather spend the cash on my la 360 if i wanted to stay carb'd. I think the fuel injection is where we are headed with it. The engine is going to need to be rebuilt as is so id rather pay for brand new upgrades. Is it worth it to put the time and money in the 03 engine?
