Default 85mm maf and water pump question

so im getting ready to instal my cam and heads and was taking off my intake. i have the 85mm intake and TB but noticed what looks to be a stock maf (bought it like that) now in my head that makes no sense! it wont pull in more air then the smallest diameter item....correct? should i ditch the stock maf and pick up a 85mm?

im not ditching it all and going with a FAST...it's either leave it as is, or buy 85mm maf, just wondering what i should do.


also, the 98 t/a that i am installing H/C on has 134K miles. while im here should i go ahead and replace the water pump also? are they prone to going out?

thanks in advance.

I believe you'll run into issues with with the 1998 pcm not having enough adjustment in the MAF tables for the 85mm mafs.
