Default Porting

is this safe or computer friendly...or will there need to be tuning?

Port both my TB and my MAF sensor?

how bout jsut one or the other? im looking more into Port and Powdercoat the TB...so what will i need to do in order of tthat to be ok...for that is it safe to remove the bumpstop also? i really dont wanna do any tuning till i get a Torque converrter

if i can do both thatd be great!

thanks

TB porting is fine, and requires no tuning. The bump stop can be groud down a bit, but not removed completely. If you port the MAF, you will need to compensate for the increased air flow. You can either tune, or get a MAFT, or you can do the MAF resistor mod. Basically, solder ~ 1K ohm 1/2 watt resistor between the two longer bars that go across the whole MAF. That helps compensate for unmetered air.

Do you have a way to monitor your A/F ratio after the MAF port? If not, I would leave alone
