MAF/Throttle bodies

Hey guys I'm kinda stuck here...I have a K&N air intake...I want to upgrade my air intake even more...I am going to buy a MAF sensor, I figure i would also upgrade my throttle body...Any suggestions on what brand/size maf and throttle body. And if I do change both is it going to mess my computer up?

I would not bother getting either one of those. They will not improve your power much at all. I would go with a stall converter and gears.

Re: MAF/Throttle bodies

For the mods you have a TB would be almost worthless and if you ever want to tune the computer the aftermarket MAF would make it harder...not to mention the gains are minimal. For the price of both of those you could get a cam then just have someone install it. You'd be much happier.

A torque converter and some drag radials will do a lot more for the fun factor. I have a 52mm throttle body on my stroker. The stock one is fine for your mods. Even a heads and cam package on a stock block doesn't require a larger throttle body.
