id keep the fuel injection. They did change that on the z's for a reason, overall reliability, and plus you can get an after market fuel management system. Ok..if you want to go turbo stay fuel injection, if high compression (n47, n42, or e88 heads will make a flat top piston block high comp.) is your choice, ive carbs are better. idk why

buy this book and carefully read it cover to cover
