help me pick some parts!

BlueSaph95GT · May 31, 2007

ordered my Trick Flow top end kit today. i could use some suggestions (brand/size) for the following items:

MAF (Would a Lightning MAF work okay??? the price is right)
Fuel Pump (probably getting a 255lph...reliable brand?)
throttle body (thinking BBK...suggestions?)
fluidyne radiator (best place to buy - best price?)
ford racing 30lb injectors (again, where can i find the best price?)

thanks for the help! i've been searching around a lot of sites but i figured you all could help me find the best prices and brands a lot faster!!!!!!

You'll need a tune to make the lightning MAF work - it's a good piece though. You'll also have to potentially look at reworking your CAI setup to make it work. And don't forget an adapter to plug it into your existing harness.

I bought the 255lph Walbro pump from Summit. Most every pump you get is going to be made by Walbro despite who's name is on the box.

We used a BBK 75mm on Sage's Trickflow install last weekend. Fitment and quality was top notch.

80mm PRO-M MAF

255lph Walbro

If going with a fox TB....Accufab all the way.

Fluidyne...got mine on ebay from Brothers ($374 shipped). Although I believe there's a thread on here about some guy who bought another cheaper rad on ebay and it worked good...forget the brand.

Injectors...always new, don't fool around on that one. Jegs maybe?? 2 day shipping is nice.

A 255lph fuel pump flows much more than your engine or injectors can use, even 24 or 30lb injectors. It takes more amperage as well, compared to a lesser lph pump. Walbro is what is typically used...

24lb injectors is fine with no tune, and if you get a tune get the 30's.

A 75mm TB flows way more than your engine can use as well, but if you want it, get it, it won't hurt your straight line performance, but give you a touchy throttle.

255 is good for that unexpected nitrous upgrade. I put one in and have no regrets. Same price as the 190 or whatever size. Why the heck not?

I run a Griffin radiator and am quite happy with it. I stayed away from Fluidyne after reading a few threads of peeps that have had problems with them cracking.

Draws slightly more amperage and puts off slightly more heat technically, and flows much, much more than needed. I like to buy parts for the current combo, not future. Especially something that is that cheap and easy to swap out.
