Default max size tb and MAF without going lean?

I was wondering, what is the max size throttle body and MAF sensor to take advantage of the stock fuel injectors without it running lean? I don't really feel like pumping more fuel into the system and ruining my gas mileage, but am hoping my intake stuff isn't causing some kind of bottleneck.

Anyway, any suggestions or input will be appreciated.

Where can I find an upgrade MAF cheap? I think I remember them being pretty damn expensive...

Anyway, if that's what you would suggest with stock 19lb injectors, then I'll keep that in mind. I've done a lot to my car this month, so more upgrades will have to come later, but I wanted to find this out now so I can start planning for my next spur of upgrades, hehe.

Oh, when you say it really don't matter, does that mean the upgrade isn't really worth it? Or that it really doesn't matter what size??

Yah, I was thinking about getting gears, but the installation will cost so much i'm not sure I'll want to do it. The tb and MAF I can do myself, so they seem a bit more welcoming at the moment... Although I know the gears would make much more difference. I guess I'll just hold off on the tb and MAF completely, wait until I can afford to do the gears...

good idea, take use of the power you have now....... then the MAF and TB will make TWICE the preformance feel with the new gears
