A few Q's before the cam goes in.. I will be putting the TSP 231/237 in on stock heads. Here are my current power mods:
FTRA, Lid, SLP 85mm MAF, FLP LTs, Bellows, 160 stat, Cutout.
1. How much will I be leaving on the table if I stay with a stock throttle body vs. aftermarket? HP wise? ET wise?
2. The MAF wars never seem to end. I am wondering if I should leave 85mm MAF in there since it will be tuned, or should I put the stock MAF back on before the cam and tune (since everyone seems to make more power w/ a stock MAF)? It seems to me that a TUNED aftermarket MAF would outperform a stock MAF...or am I crazy??
Thanks..

you'll be leaving a few hp on the tabel, can always pick up a ported TB down the line. and tuning is a bit easier with the stock maf, thats the route i'd go. you can try tunning with the 85mm and then go from there and put a stocker back in if need be.

I'm running my setup (same cam and stock heads) with stock TB and stock MAF.
I suggest you slap on a ported TB before tuning if you want a ported TB. Keep the 85mm MAF, but take a stocker along to the tuner's just in case.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering if sticking a different TB on later would really mess with the tune.
See what I mean about the MAF wars? Already two different suggestions..
Keep 'em comin'!!!
