was hoping you were going with a slot style maf

Nah. My tuner said I didn't need something that big. The ba2600 will support up to 700hp.

I just always preferred slot style. Its all up to what your tuner likes bud. I am just a bunch of pixels on the internet giving my opinion. I dont have alot of experience with the 2600.

Lol the slots are nice. Going back to look at my emails he actually recommended a VA 3000 but those aren't rated at 700+ hp and I don't think I will come close to that

Roughly lol my budget was 7k and I blew that a long time ago. Derek really did help me out and hook me up with alot of extras tho so I got a great deal on the stuff. I want to say I'm at 8500-9k maybe if I had to guess. Probably closer to 8500. That's will the motor, supercharger stuff, transmission, billet torque convertor, headers, full 3 inch exhaust, gauges, fuel pumps I got pretty much everything

Did some wiring. These relay boxes really clean stuff up. I still need to clean up the wiring going to the box. Also pulled the drivers side head off to check things out. It's super clean

Think I'm gonna try to convince my granddad to let me keep the old 5.4 at his house. They have plenty of room for it. It won't go back in my truck but I have always waned to do a restomod 68-71ish mustang so maybe a twin turbo 4v build or maybe just another built up 2v. Idk yet, it won't be any time soon. I need to graduate and move out before I tske another project like this on

That would be a cool project. I think you could get away with doing a full marauder suspension to help with handling too.
