I wanna say all you need is a tune and more fuel, but I'd feel guilty if you butt a ring, how many miles on the engine?

I think a walbro 255 and some 60lb injectors+ an aeromotive regulator and a good tune and youre good to go.

Probably gonna have to do some work on the 4l60 depending on your luck, probably easier and cheaper to go 4l80/th400 or just pick a new 4l60 than to try and make one live forever
