Mike:

I quoted your post, as it was long and this made it easier to reply to.

Sounds good, What would be a good brand and sive of MAF. I hear a lot about C&L. Should i go with there 73mm and is a 70 mm TB to big right now?

The C&L 73mm is a good piece. For more info, check out the thread: 'Bottom line on Mass Air Meters' on this forum. Lots of good info regarding the various MAF's.

Yes, a 70MM TB is way too big for the stock intake and stock heads. 65mm is plenty and the stock 60mm is fine on a stock intake & head combo.

With that in mind, my buddy just installed a B303 in his COMPLETELY stock 95 stang. He is trying to get me to do the same.

What is the better cam- B or E or should i go custom because i hear a lot of complaints (probably false) about Motorsport cams. I dont think i need a custom grind untill i get into a stroker and SC engine combo-agree.

The stock cam is fine unless you get into high HP mods or power adders. The stock 5.0 cam is fairly aggressive and is often underrated. Leave it alone, for now.

would a 70mmTb benefit the cam or would i be wasting money.

The latter.

Does the 70mm tb require larger injectors that would probably flood my somewhat stock motor if i installed a cam?

No, a 70mm TB doesn't require bigger injectors. The 19-pounders can handle up to about 300 HP. The FP may need upgrading soon. It's rated at a weak 88 lph. A 155 or 190 FP is a good choice, just on general principals.

These Q's may not make sense. Before i ask questions or while i read posts i look at sigs to see others improvements and there are very different combo's out there. And for what reason people choose these parts i don't know(Not saying that they are wrong but that i don't have the experience yet).

No harm in asking, Mike.

If i did a cam change i would install a kit and use 1.7 rockers to compliment the cam. What do you feel about that?

Probably overkill and would cause idle and possible drivability problems. Easier route (with stock heads intact) is to install 1.7 rockers to compliment the stock cam. It works and is easier than a cam change.

Thanks for the info.

Mike

Glad to help out.
