Default 85mm mass and lid worth it??

would it be worth it on my setup?? I have to go back to the dyno after putting on my arh 1 7/8" headers anyway. In a couple years i will be doing better heads and cam. I can get a delco maf for a 6.0l truck cheap, but what else do i need?? wiring ect...

i have stock H/I, i do have a cam. I am hoping in the spring time to p/u maybe 25 RWHP.

i am adding the following all at the same time
42# injectors (my DC is at 98% as i sit now)
85mm LID
85mm MAF
E-cutout
FTRA

Obviously i am getting my tune touched up. right now i sit a 404/375. na corrected 415/378. like i said i am hoping to hit the 430 RWHP mark

What harness do you need? There are 2 to choose from. It all depends on what your going to with your IAT sensor....

The lnk that 1999BlueTA posted is for if you want to use your IAT sensor in your lid

if you do not want to drill a hole in your lid for your IAT sensor, b/c the 85mm MAF has a buit in IAT sensor already

those look good, i called my tuner today and he was going to look at my maf tables and see how close to maxed out it was then i will decide if i want to go with the 85mm mass air. I know that i want a lid though, and i hate to buy like a slp then need to go bigger again later. I also need to get my own tuning software so i can do it myself. My tuner is extreamly good, but unbelivably expensive.

Just get a Fast Toys 85mm Lid, and i went onto e-bay and got my GM (Delphi) 85mm MAF for $30 shipped.
