Where do I stand?

I guys, this is my first post. I've been reading and learning for several months now, but I think it's time for some help.

I have an 88 p\u with a 22re bought about 6 months ago, 200k with a rebuild about 30k ago (or so I was told). Since picking it up I've givin it a basic tune up, new warn hubs, new front R axle, new injectors, heater core, brakes all the way around, and changed the tranny and diff fluids (they looked 20yrs old).

She is a gutless wonder so I was going to get the LCI EFI uprade kit with the bored out T-body, headers, cam and intake.

So last night I checked the compresion and got 124-126 in all four, no change with a little oil squirted in. I live at 7000ft, so I realize this will affect my reading. Im I within normal limits? Should I proced with the LCI kit? or am I nearing a rebuild? This is my DD and there is no money tree in my back yard.

Thanks in advance for you help

Its a 22RE, its a gutless wonder. But its reliable as heck. Not made to go fast but made to last. I have no clue what the EFI upgrade is but I wouldn't bother with it, nor the throttle body. Cam, exhaust and if you want, intake (look up deckplate mod).

One more thing, I'd ditch the Warn hubs and get a set of Aisan hubs. They came stock and they're stronger.

The EFI upgrade kit, is acutally called EFI Power Package and its just the name for a Package that LCI sells that has a mild cam, header, T-body and intake.

a good header and 2.25 exhaust will help the cam.
