i have everything except roller rockers, throttlebody, gasket set and a mass air flow sensor. Anyone know of good gasket set or a good set of head gasket i can get that would be good for an HCI + 8lbs of boost. When i got the heads they said they were porte to a felpro 1250? Also for my mass airflow sensor i need 76 mm one. Where can i get one i looked online and are thoughs ones on there only like a pipe and you reuse your stock maf sensor? Im confused on that also should i run 1.6 or 1.7 i have tfs stage 2 cam and heads good upto a 700 lift. Which ones wouldi benefit from more and do i need anything else if i get either of them.

Thanks ill get some pictures up and a dyno sheet once eveything isdone have no clue when it will be though

I probably wouldn't buy a gasket set because you pay for stuff you don't use... I would buy the timing cover gasket set, the head gaskets, and intake gaskets... Thats all you will need... i also HIGHLY recommend not using the front and back gaskets supplied with intake set... There's a silicone called Right Stuff, use that, and i guarantee you won't have trouble with it... Granatelli should offer the mass air meter that you are needing, and it will be calibrated for injectors if you change those... I'm not sure, but i think those cams are rated using 1.6 rockers... Those should be fine... Remember, your power comes from duration... On the gaskets, make sure you use the black gaskets if you are going to run boost and prefer felpro...Good luck

u want copper gaskets... that way you u blow something else instead!!!!!!!!!!

8lbs of boost, theres no reason to spend the extra money on copper gaskets.... Besides, as long as you don't detonate, you should have no worries as long as you torque your heads correctly....

what gaskets should i get? your saying all i ill need is those 3 sets of them and also, will i benefit much from using the copper gaskets will they last longer? anything else i should get or know about before i start

The MAIN purpose and benefit of copper gaskets, besides their durability, is for cars that pull the heads off regularly.... Such as drag cars, etc... A good quality felpro gasket, the black ones, should be just fine with boost... Remember, its not boost that blows gaskets, thats a myth, its detonation that blows them... Check everything out before you bolt it on, heads and intake... Make sure the heads are true so that your gasket will seat properly... Use quality head bolt or studs, bolts for application, like ARP... You can pick them up for 45 bucks or so... When putting the bolts in, make sure to use oil stabilizer or something along those lines to put on the threads of the bolts... Its also a good idea to use thread sealer on the bolts that run into the water jackets... Another good idea is to match your intake gaskets while you have it all apart...You can use a die grinder to cut the gaskets out to the size of the ports, its just something extra, not required...
