Default Air ride or EFI

Well, I have enough for one project or the other. I am debating between the two. I have a 69 with a new GM HO 454 from last year. It has bilstein shocks and a hotchkis sway on the front. Rides pretty stiff. Air Ride would be nice. The wife might even get in. Or do I go EFI, was thinking Mass Flow system but not alot of experience with it on this or other forums. I am leaning toward the acel Thruster now. Any body that has done one or both of these exoensive upgrades I would welcome your thoughts.
Thanks

If the car runs great the way it is I'd do the suspension mods, as it's going to make a bigger more positive difference in driving your car. And I'm a huge EFI supporter!

Yes
It runs fine. I think your suggestion is a good one though.
Thanks

I agree, plus costs can really snowball when doing an EFI conversion.

Actually if he goes with a Thruster he is really close to 100%. So close I cannot think right off of what he may need except some intake gaskets.

I wish I would have gone with the air ride before my EFI conversion. It certainly seems easier!
