I'm pretty sure you can make as much as you want. Race cars don't use mass air, they use FAST which is speed density. If you are going to drive it on the street every day I would switch to mass air anyway and just build from there

yes you will need a new computer and a mass air meter. Its much easier to tune with the stock computer using mass air until you get into the power level where you have to use a system like FAST

If I were you I would go to a junk yard and get all of the mass air parts from an 89-93 5.0. You will need the mass air meter and ecu and probably several other parts.
