A couple of quick questiosn.

1) Can the stock CA MAF handle 12-14 psi coming from the stock T25?

2) Can the stock injectors handle it? I got a Walbro 255 and a Synapse FPR?

3) From what I've read, the KA-E MAF doesn't work with the SAFC, is this true?

1) Yes, but don't plan to use the stock side mount intercooler. It makes the baby jesus cry. The MAF will be near topped out.

2) Probably, but you'll be pushing them fairly hard. You have the pump and fpr though, you'll be alright.

3) Anything will work with the SAFC. Thats why people buy them. Why bother with the SOHC MAF though, just get a real one. N60 or N62.

Doesn't help when the motor's sitting in my friends grandpas garage lol.

I know 14 psi is pushing it so thats why I plan on 12 psi. I'd like to hit 190-200 on the baby T25.
