Default 5.0HO mods... help

Wondering about MAF recalibration. I have seen soem 90MM lightning MAF sensors sell for close to nothing and decided that would beas good as spending $100+/- for a smaller 75mm or so MAF... However i am wondering how i can have the 90MM MAF calibrated to work with the 24lb injectors i am running...

I have also seen 95-95 MAFs calibrated for 24lb injectors go fairly cheap as well. I am in the "bigger is better" mindset right now. Is that a mistake? Would there be any more power to gain from a 24lb calibrated 90mm over a 24lb calibrated 70mm???

aluminum radiator
160LPH fuel pump (stock fuel pump that is in th car which the motor is going into)
Holley "blue" fuel pump for the nitrous

on your set up a 90mm is a waste on your fairly stock set up...just match the mass air meter opening to the size tubing you are using...and you do know that the holley blue pump is for a carberated set up....

the Holley blue pump is for the fuel selenoid on the nitrous setup (as stated above)

It will also be getting heads and a cam this spring... Just waiting for the money to start flowing again....
