Get a 65 mm TB or a 70 - 76 mm maf,
If you want electrical , doo a high quality tune up , new plugs, wires , cap& rotor, coil.

Make sure the MAF you get is calibrated for your 19#ers or you'll be screwed.

Couldn't agree with this more! Recently did just that on my stock 1990 5.0 after having the car for 60k+ miles, and it made noticeable performance improvements (wish I would have done all that sooner! [sm=headbang.gif]).

MAF, intake, exhuast, etc. mods won't do you any good if the main electrical is not up to snuff. If you haven't yet done a high-quality tune-up like above, do that first. You WILL see improvements.

Good luck!
