Alright guys im coming into 200+ bucks soon and my car seems like it struggles in getting air.. has stock TB and MAF with the stock setup from ford racing air box deal.. im thinkin a 70mm MAF would help alot or am i gonna only see a big gain with a matching TB and EGR spacer? i will still be getting a TB and EGR thats bigger but i just need to know which would be better for me first.. im bracket racing my car here soon probably so i need to get this puppy opened up instead of like gasping for air

Go larger with the MAF, either a 73mm or 76mm C&L (cheaper) or a pro-m in 75mm or larger. A TB would definatly help the intake breathe a lot more since you have a GT40 intake.

i noticed you have a set of 24# injectors now. didnt you switch out the MAF to a new one calibrated for the bigger injectors?

With the stock MAF, it reads off the ECU, so it being calibrated for 24s is automatic (i think im correct )

anyway, with that setup, a 65 or 70mm t-body is gonna be MUCH better and i would choose the 75mm pro-m chrome bullet, or plastic if you can find it cheaper to save $.

PS: go 86s!
