Default Which CAI for 306?

Well the build is underway. Short block with balanced rotating assembly, and flat top JE pistons ready to rock. The upper half consists of a Lunati Blue Racer Cam (duration @ .050" 221/232 and .557/.554 valve lift with 1.7rr's), felpro gaskets and ARP bolts, Edelbrock Performer 60cc heads 2.02int. valves, Edelbrock performer RPM II manifold, Edelbrock 75mm EGR spacer and TB, Ford racing hydraulic lifters-dbl. roller timing set-oil pan-oil pump-water pump- pickup-and balancer, 190lph fuel pump, 24lb inj, adj reg., stock rails, MSD 6AL, Coil, Distributor, BBK ceramic shortys, pypes o/r xpipe, mac catback, Built AOD, TCI 3000 lockup convertor, ford racing alum. ds, built 8.8 w/ auburn pro, moser 31 splines, 3.73's, rear end girdle, torquemaster starter, PA Performance polished 200amp alt., battery relocated to trunk, dual 12" electric fans w/ control, afro 3 core radiator, and some other goodies.

I haven't bought a CAI or Mass Air Meter yet. Which one should i get? I was eyeballing the BBK, but was recently turned on to Anderson motorsports. I want to put it in the fenderwell. I planned on going with a 75mm meter as suggested by my builder. I noticed that C&L doesn't make a 75 but they make a 76. Does 1mm make a difference? Sorry so long winded, this is what i like to do in my spare time while in Iraq.

Thanks ya'll.

I went with the BBK Fenderwell kit and I was satisfied, I barely felt a difference but that old stock air filter was just awful, still got the stock mass air sensor.

Milton, do you have the fenderwell kit or the one that resides in the engine bay?
