Looking to upgrade to 85mm mass air info needed I Have a 99 camaro with stage 2 patriot heads and a torquer v.3 cam. I recently installed a 78mm fast intake on the car. I got a really good deal on the fast 78 thats why I used it. The car has full bolt ons except for the electric water pump. right now it still has the stock unported throttle body and stock mass air flow sensor. I am looking to upgrade to a 85mm mass air and probly a 85mm throttle body. can the 85mm truck mass air be used? If I swap on a 85mm mass air and 85mm throttle body will I have to get the car retuned? I just had it dyno tuned like two weeks ago when I had the fast intake installed.
I was also wondering if the larger mass air and throttle body would maybe gain a few Horse power? right now the car made 400 hp and 370tq to the rear wheels through a 4l60e and 3800 converter.

you are going to need a tune running a truck maf . i put one on my ride and it just smoked a few seconds and died . the aftermarket ones are supposed to be tuned but still with aftermarket parts it will need another tune . i think it is just some resistors in the aftermarket .

Let me ask this then What good does it do to run a 90/90 set up if you have a stock size mass air that will only let that amount of air move through your intake?

You can actually port the throttle body mounting area on a 78mm fast to 85mm. There is a right up of it on here some where with pictures and every thing. I also have a spare top cover for my fast 78 intake to port.
hey Chris1313 what mass air do you use? is it the truck unit or a slp?
