I'll probably just roll the dice and stick with the current 90mm MAF. My theory is I'll be safer since than most since the air is less dense at this altitude lol, plus the exhaust will free it up a little i think. But... if someone wants my ford racing 90mm maf for their 4v build cough cough folks - id be happy to sell at a good discount and upgrade to a larger SCT one.

I already got a lightning fuel hat on the way too, so ill be doing twin 255 pumps I'm not so excited to drop the tank again.

I already did the new lines thing. it wasnt fun.. But with possibility of a different type of build it might have to be done again but on a smaller scale. Going to look at a RC Flairside 4x4 with a blown engine tomorrow.. So I'll leave those details for yall to figure out.

Planning to run 14lbs with a fresh tune, new pulley and tuneup. If i can hit 380whp ill be happy for now. If it blows up ill just get a built block. That was the plan anyways lol.

I think it can handle 380 tuned right. Throw some new rods and pistons on that baby and up the boost.
