Default what size mass air meter will be good for 24lb injectors

I am getting a 24lb mass air to match my larger injectors for some upgrades, what size should I get. I have found a wide range from 80mm-55mm. I will be running a 65mm throtle body if that makes a difference. Do you think that is ok to go with a used one or just buy a new one??
thanks
mat

I could be wrong but you should probably be running larger than 24lb injectors on a boosted engine.

Currently running stock engine with 19lb injectors, only 5-6 lbs of boost with FMU. Vortec kit doesnt require upgrade yet. No problems at this time, only a street car. I really dont run it that hard. Just like to spin the tires a little bit.

Stock H/C/I i assume..If so then 24's will be fine with the FMU..And i would suggest the 80mm housing just for future upgrades..

Get a Pro-M 75mm or a Summit Brand 75mm(identical to the Pro-M)., Plus it's much cheaper. A 90mm Lightning MAF would be your best bet. However, you would have to get it tuned to work properly.

Being boosted you should probably get a tune anyways with new injectors, I'd suggest a Lighting MAF and tune it up.
