Default which MAF to use

Right now im in the process of putting together a vortech v1 s-trim supercharger on my car. I plan on having 400-425whp and was wondering which MAF I should use? Id appreciate all the info I can get

Go through one of the site sponsors (VMP Tuning) and get the HPX 05+ MAF. You won't regret it. It's got for 600+ RWHP in 3" tubing. You won't ever need to purchase another MAF again. I've got the same MAF in my Procharged '98 Cobra. It's damn near maxed out in mine, but it's a badass MAF. It requires some wiring and creativity, but it's well worth it.

When I first bought my Cobra it had a stock style, draw thru MAF with a Procharger P1SC. It's fine if that's what you wanna use, but IMO blow thru is a lot better when it comes time to tune and what not. Blow thru is also more accurate on blower setups.

i don't think you can vent to atmosphere with a draw through you need blow through to do that.

If you're sticking with draw through (I did only because it was the most convenient with existing powerpipe and nowhere to put a blow through because of aftercooler) I'd go with one of the good SCT MAF sensors like BA 3000 2800 or 2600. Or a Sniper Bazooka 3000 MAF sensor.
