Matching MAF and TB

[1987stangman]

The time has come to upgrade the stock MAF and TB and I would like some suggestions as to what size MAF and TB I should go with that will work well with my current combo. I've run SD for so long that I never cared about MAF size and I really should have upgraded to a larger TB a long time ago. Taxes will be in my bank account soon and I want to buy what I need to before my wife gets ahold of it! I'm buying 24lb injectors too.

70mm TB, 75mm MAF.

+1 to that.

If you had a power adder, i'd say go 75mm TB. 70 is a good size for you

Thanks guys, I want to get these mods done soon because I plan to get a dyno tune. Any idea on what power I might be making now?

290ish to the wheels.

That is optimistic thinking. I've seen similar Thumper headed cars make maybe 260rwhp. With that combo, I'd be happy with 270-280, but I wouldn't get your hopes tooooo high.

I'd be happy with that. I know the heads are the biggest problem and I have plans to get some better heads in the future. The car runs really well right now so after these upgrades I need to hunt a set of new wheels because (hate to admit it) I'm still running on the stock turbines.
