RE: Should I get a 90mm Lightning maf or not??
I always run 93 Octane and driveability at 11.21??? No not really, since I never drive it more than 50 miles in one day! I think the most miles at once all summer was 64miles! What size injectors are you running and are you doing anyting as far as an FMU? Are you using an adjustable regulator?

As was said your stock maf and injectors and pump are good. If you upgraded anything i would say its ok to go to 24lb inj and a 190lph fuel pump but the stock maf is more then enough for any 2V NA application.

24lb injectors, the stock pump, and the stock MAF are all you need.
However, if your tuner cannot tune a aftermarket MAF... you need to find a differen't tuner. He should be able to tune any maf to your car, regardless of who made it.
You definatly don't need the 90 mm lightning setup at this time. You simply arn't going to make that much power, espcially with stock 2v heads.

Your wasting your money on a MAF on ur car, stock is fine unless u have FI, and half the time the stock MAF is still sufficent with a blower

So many ppl go and buy a lightning MAF when they are making less than 450 hp even with a blower. Its a waste.
On a side note unless you're doing forced induction you dont need the 24#ers. My car came with them when i got it. The guy (who owned it previously) redid the fuel system (new pump, rails, injectors) and he threw on 24#ers. Idk why but i wont complain.
