A normal draw through type will suffice. Which MAF do you have on it now. I am running a 90mm Lighting MAF. But I had to use the transfer sheet to make it work with my car. I temporally used a Summit 75mm MAF before I broke it and it worked fine. Since the Vortech kit is meant to work with stock motor's(out of the box), the CAI version MAF will work, but I think the standard MAF version will be better suited. If you know what I am saying?

I have no clue what maf it has now

it has a sn-95 style but I think it has some sort of housing calibration/plate inside to alter it to work with 24 lbs inj, cause it runs fine with such, but I don't plan to use it with a s/c, I have a huge anderson pipe/ 80 or 90 mm set up with a maf calibrated from pro-m for 24's but I think the maf was fubar cause car wouldn't run worth a darn with it, anyway yeah on pro -m 's website I read about maf calibrated differently if you were using a cai vs stock draw though type, Got any links to ones for a cai set up, I'll be using most likely cai type

Ok gotcha! To me that looks like a stock 70mm MAF. A CAI version is like this: http://www.promracing.com/mass-air-m...un-flanged-p-3
Standard version: http://www.promracing.com/mass-air-m...ged-bullet-p-2 Either one would work. For the MAF brand I would go with PMAS or Summit brand. Both are cheap. I think PMAS is around $180 and Summit brand(made by Pro-M) is about $220. My Summit version I ran was the CAI type.

I do, but it may take a day or so for me to get them up. I am not very electronic savvy unfortunately. But I will post them up! Mine is mounted in the fender. For your Fox, I think it will be mounted right next to the supercharger instead of in the fender. http://forums.corral.net/forums/imag...ine=1220586564
Edit: for some reason I cannot get my other pictures to load. And I know the size sucks! I'll just get new ones tomorrow!

But he does not really need a blow through for his setup. A turbo needs one, but not a supercharger!
