Default 5.3 blow thru turbo setup

Im buying a car thats currently setup as a blow thru carburetor setup on E85 with no intercooler. My question is, Is a blow thru setup a good option for 5.3ls and if so ill have to convert to pump gas for my area due to no e85 and change to pump gas carb and add cooler and meth kit or option two is make it efi and add megasquirt and 80lb injectos and so forth. Whats u guys opinions?????? Thanks

My first LS powered car was Procharger and a blow thru carb-had Kevin @ CSU build the carb
It ran perfect, a couple tweaks to the carb and never had to touch it
You could prob run a meth kit depending on boost, I just ran an IC'er
