If im not mistaken, the FI guys max out their MAF's so they go speed density... I am actually running in speed density and to me, the car feels quicker and responds better. Going to the track soon to see how it does.

I have a 90mm (4") TB so I just bought this to connect the lid to the TB. You might have to cut it a little but its no big deal.
