No sense in worrying about it now if going EFI. 60 PSI fuel pressure solves those problems.
Yep, just a brief annoyance.

I had goosed it at 40mph under a bridge to hear the exhaust note and with the kickdown to low, the car sidestepped like I was on dancing with the stars. It was running so good I was actually thinking "why am I going to EFI?".
