A decent hci like that and a blower will put you close to the limit of your block integrity. Don't forget all of the supporting mods you need, and add a trans to that equation if you're blowing it. And if you do, get rid of the SD!

How does the cam sound from that kit? Lumpy or stockish

what parts are needed to lose the SD? A new computer and some sensors, more less?

i think the TF cam is made for MAF cars. i would save your money and buy gt40(p) heads and then buy a TF manifold, which are pretty good, then get a Comp xe264 or xe270 cam(good w/ SD). then just put it in yourself. that will save you at least a grand.

I made 290 rwhp on a mustang dyno with mine. Only reason I include that is because people say those generally read lower than the other dyno... It's basically the trickflow kit with all supporting boltons,except I have a GT-40 intake instead of the TFS one (which I wish I had instead) and I also got 1.7rr's instead of the 1.6's you get in the kit.

To change from SD to mass air you need:
Mass air meter.
Mass air typecomputer (A9L, A9P etc)
Mass air pigtail or piggyback harness.
A set of instructions doesn't hurt either.

Another thought instead of converting to mass air would be to see if you could use the AFM PMS. I'm not sure if you HAVE toconvert toa mass air setup to use the PMS, but if you don't you would be spending only 200 bucks more on the PMS (vs buying a mass air kit) and you would have a better EFI system you could use to tune yourself or still have someone tune it for you.
