Is there anyway to get a maf to work with this kit? That's the one thing really keeping me from going that route. Our weather changes so often and so fast that an SD tune would have to be updated daily/weekly to be right. And since my car at times is my daily I don't wanna have to worry about it. Maybe cutting into the lid and glassing in a recessed outlet?

There is really no way to make the maf fit with using the stock lid setup. I have ran my car in 100 degree weather and 10 degree weather. It runs fine either way. A good tuner is the key.

Default 5.3 out 6.0 in

I have a s10 with a lq9 H beam rods with forged pistons (10.5 cp) stock crank. The engine is not yet built, waiting to be balanced and put together. I would love to put a magnacharger on it but not sure what to go with its a pretty tight fit. can any body help and maybe give me some mesurements of how far the throttle body is sticking out past the water pump on the vett maggie kit?
