Default Intake question

Bout ready to do intake! Got some questions?
firstly, here is what i wanna do (keep in mind i will hopefully be dropping a 408 in next summer, and then add some nitrous)
fast 90 mm intake manifold
fast 90 mm TB
smooth bellows
lid (probably slp)
BG ram air
FTRA

Questions:
can i do FTRA and BGRA?
Will a MAF (85mm) be a benifit?
IS there anything i am leaving out?
Estimates on HP Gain on stock block (not ready for 408 for 12 months or so)?

i dont know on how much hp you will gain but i cna tell you that with the 90mm you will be killing yourself down low, that is way to big for the stock block.
