yea but i really dont see anything getting past the filter that would be unable to get through through the screen. but then again i would rather just have a screen just because. I like the idea of pickin up 8-10 hp like the guy earlier said. maybe ill find a used one. Thanks for your input fellas

I ordered a 100mm MAF to go with a 104MM lid. large part is ease of installation plus I KNOW I wont be leaving anything on the table from that aspect. I figured if I'm already putting this kind of money into the car whats a little more? Maybe the wrong outlook.

i have done the same, inst. fast 102 intake and t/b, and also put on 100mm maf and 104 air lid for insurance not to leave anything on the table from my 402, just have to get it tuned, runs like crap right now.

gm will tell you 1000 hp. but that is a lie. i have seen one gto go 2 years on the stock bottom end pushing 850 rwhp. if you are going to tear the engine down that far why not spend the extra and forge the bottom end. that way you can run what you want...

How are you going to make the power? Boost or spray, replace the hyper pistons with forged. Revs, replace the rods. Crank is stout and will last north of 700 or so. I remember Harlan running ~1200hp on a stock crank back in the day.
Realistically if you're taking it all apart, might as well do it right once, and do the rods and pistons.
