Throttle body/mass air size questions

i would say save some more money and get some heads first or u wont see hardly and change. i have an intake sittin here if u want it.Its a TFS street heat intake(upper/lower)250 plus shippin. Its is just takin up space right now.

I had a 70mm on with a Cobra intake, with stock heads and a 73mm MAF. Switched back to the 55mm and it seems more peppy. I plan on doing heads soon so the 70mm will go back on then. It might still be too much for my application.

Use the money elsewhere until you can afford heads. If you are buying the BBK fenderwell tube for performance, save your money. There are some cheaper options out there that are more HP effective.

Your best bet with modifications is to have a long-term goal. People start picking pieces, then changing directions down the road, then end up with useless parts. Basically I would pick your horsepower goal first, then the mods you will be taking to get there. Also consider how you want it to drive on the street or if it is going to be a trailor track queen. Also, it is important to know operating RPM range.

For the MAF, I would choose that later. Due to the fact that you need to pick an appropriate fuel injector size for your ultimate goal, no need in getting the wrong calibration when it comes time to order it. A 65mm is about as big as you want to go for stock induction components. If you ever start hitting towards the 350 hp level a 70mm would be an excellent choice. Obviously though, the bigger things are, then the extra power must also be present to work correctly. Accufab is a very high quality piece, I wouldn't both with a Granatelli piece. As sad as it is, GMS products are hardly their own. they contract out to other companies to make their stuff then they just re-sell them off as their own for a very jacked-up price.
