on our build we had to weld a bead around the top outside edge of the throttle body to keep the chrage pipe on. around 10psi or so it was blow off no matter how tight we got it.

looked like you are still running a MAF on this truck. are you gonna have to use a signal clamp on it or...??? will it keep up with your 300rwhp goal?

not sure. i figured it would handle 300rwhp but maybe it wont. if not there are ways around that. i always thought parallel paths one with the maf and one without would be an easy fix for stuff like this.

i was thinking without.... and i am a little biased too, i personally have never been a fan of a blow thru maf set up. but its your world and im sure it will turn out just fine. good luck

Im probably one of the few that still uses a MAF. Mine still works for over 500whp.
