Default Installing an 85mm MAF

I will be installing the 85mm MAF, 85mm Lid, 42# injectors and an e-cutout...

Do you think that my stock 74mm P&P TB will be a bottle neck for all the air coming into the motor? Ohh yeah i also have a FTRA too...

Maybe not so much a "bottle neck" but definately the next point of air restriction now that your set up with an 85/85 so-to-speak.
