Default Noob supercharger questions

Some Noob to supercharging questions (Car is a 04 gt)

I bought a used procharger kit complete. This is a blow-through set up correct?

I have read the differences between draw thru vs blow thru, but my install instructions haven't arrived yet, and I am still trying to get my head around all of this.

I will be upgrading the blow off valve, and using a 90mm lighting MAF sensor. Due to living in Ca, I cannot do the TB or plenum. This will not be a monster build, essentially a stock GT with a supercharger.

blow thru vs draw thru has to do with your maf set up. blow thru is after the blower before the throttle body and draw thru is before the blower where the maf sits right after your air filter. and a lightning maf can be set up as blow thru and draw through buy works best as draw thru. draw thru is basicly what the car has stock with the factory maf.

So what would be a good MAF for a blow-through MAF? (If that is what is needed for a procharger set up)

i personally have a pmas and like it but "king" would be a vmp with the 05 and up slot style sensor. but any good name brand sensor will do fine in your case.

my tuner refuses to deal with draw through maf's like the lightning maf because apparently the bypass valve causes "maf wash" or something of the sort and makes tuning more difficult. just a thought.

It may just boil down to the different tuners and what they are use to bc my tuner/installer had No issues tuning my car with my lightning maf/draw thru.
