Question What to do with my MAF sensor?

I know there are a lot of posts on which size throttle body is best for a fairly stock 4.6, so I'm not going to go there but I do have a question on the MAF sensor. Are there bigger sensors and should you get one when you have a cold air intake and a bigger throttle body, it doesn't make much sence to have a bigger throttle body with a stock size MAF because I would think that would restrict it. Or is the stock MAF big enough to flow enough to match a 70 or 75mm throttle body. I'm looking into getting a new throttle body and plenum for next spring and wanted to know about the MAF as well. Thanks in advance.

a stock maf is good to ~350rwhp. Only reason to upgrade is if you're pegging the one you have (voltage)

Agree, the stocker is good enough. Get the 75mm tb and the plenum.

In addition, if you plan to exceed the 350 RWHP, then go with the Diablo MAFia. It maintains your stock throttle body housing, and plugs into to the sensor. This device raises the peg level of your stock MAF. It will allow your MAF to adjust correctly up to 700 HP.
