Default Heres My Build.... should a do a bigger MAF sensor now before tune or is stock fine??
Mods are as followed, Im needing to know if I should get a 100mm TSP MAF sensor and will it make any power, or will the stock z06 85MM MAF be fine? Also, will a vararam air bridge get me any gains with my setup? I want to cover all the basis before I have Tom Wong tune it for me. Any guess on what il be making power wise!?

PRC stg 2.5 heads ported and polished, PRC titanium dual valve springs, seals, retainers etc, 7.375 push rods, ls7 lifters, comp rocker trunion upgrade, comp cams LSR 231 239 on 113 lsa, FAST 102mm lsxr intake manifold, nick williams 102mm ported and polished throttle body, FAST ls2 style billet fuel rail, FAST 36lb injectors, ported and shimmed oil pump, SLP undriven crank pulley, american racing longtube headers, catless, x-pipe, b&b exhaust, vararam intake (stock airbrige), 160 degree thermostat, ls2 chain, all new gaskets, Monster stage 3 clutch and flywheel...

Quick vid of the car after we put it together and did a quick drive in it to the gas station... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e98qmsD_lk

85 should be good. That is what I am running on my 402 with a Fast toys 85mm Lid. Also a 90/90 Fast.
