Yes the mpfi swap is a great bang for buck mod.

Plus it saves wiring down the line if you ever swap.

is it worth it? of course it is, and you'll gain some hp too. also may turn out to be a good learning experience. im planning my mpfi swap right now but my car is a daily driver thats more show then go, i got in alot of car trouble when i was a kid so having a fast car is only going to get me thrown in jail lol
