Big Picture Plans 140-160

Hi everyone, I'm a relatively new owner of a 72 142e. I am trying to formulate an engine build for the long term. Currently, i'm wrestling over whether or not to convert to Carburetors (Weber or Mikuni)or try and implement a modern FI system ( MS or Motech). So far, my plans are: replace original clutch with Ipd or Skandix clutch kits, replace brake pads, and then begin converting to carburetors or work on a modern FI system.The motor is a b20f and I know it has lower compression ratios than the b20e and I need to know the best way to go about choosing an appropriate fuel system. I would really appreciate advice and pointers. I live in the Sacramento area- heads up if anyone is also around that area. Ultimately, I would like to raise my HP to 200-250. Even 200 would make me really happy.
