Depends. Maybe something like a 73-75mm MAF, 24# injectors, and 65mm TB...

More details on the combo, what kind of heads, intake ect? How big on each?

stock maf is 55mm, getting a bigger one is a good idea on even a pure bone stock mustang.

Um, technically, you want a bigger MAF *housing* not a bigger MAF sensor (something calibrated for larger injectors) - just an FYI as you shop.

Def. get a bigger MAFF. You don't want a smaller MAFF than the throttle body is. Stock you get exactly that.

True. You want your MAF housing to be a bit bigger than your throttle body. Something like a 73mm housing would probably work just fine for you.

I Have The TrickFlow Upper And Lower Intake
Trick Flow Elbow

And I Belive The MAF Housing Is Aftermarket

Would A Larger Sensor Help?
Thanks

the sensor is just the electronics on top of the meter. the meter is the part you want larger...not the electronics. i forget exactly what yours came with (70mm?) but its not nearly as small as a foxbody's meter (55mm).
