Default maf

granaletti makes a 90mm maf for 24lbs injectors. i was wondering if that would work good on a n/a motor or would i have to have a supercharger or turbo.

Default RE: maf

I just recently bought a C&L 76mm meter w/ Tru-flow inlet. I am very impressed with the quality of the product, it all fits super nicely. It's 3.5in (about) compared to the BBK which sizes down from 3.5in to 3in after the meter. Only thing I was bummed about was that it's too short to hook up to my BBK fenderwell, so I'm going to have to make an adapter or something so I can use both of them together. Definitely check that out as an option. Also if you plan on getting your car tuned by a shop, ask the shop before hand which meter(s) they prefer.

90mm for 24lb injectors? That's just pointless. That's too big, you'll hurt your motor and have a B-I-T-C-H of a time trying to get any intake you buy bored out to that, as to get maximum flow, you'd want your throttle body around 80-90mm which means an equally big port for the intake. As well as trying to find a CAI kit that big...

Just get a 73mm C&L, VERY good units, they come tuned for 24lbs injectors, and follow it with a 70mm TB.

While I won't agree that 90mm is pointless...

I will agree that it is overkill.

Look for something in the 70-80mm range.
Not much reason to go larger at this point.

Then again I am only guessing at the rest of your combo.
You didn't give any other details.
