If you're going to do it get a MAF and skip the MAFia. I ran one for a while and prefer the upgraded MAF.
What mods would be more beneficial?

Jesus. No frame ties? A like pretzels, but not when it comes to the car trying to turn itself into one.
I'm assuming you tried the mafia? I do like the thought of a fresh maf unit but why the maf over mafia?
Shadow it has frame ties from original owner.

That’s the strangest looking pulley I’ve seen. Your right op it looks rough but if it’s properly tuned you might already be around 450-460 already.

Yea you might be right. I'm just nervous about the previous tune. Think i would rather have piece of mind knowing it was done correctly. Also that pulley is an eye sore.

Good. Then mod away. Pulley looks like the old Moto blue one.I'm assuming you tried the mafia? I do like the thought of a fresh maf unit but why the maf over mafia?

Was that for me? I just preferred tuning with the MAF only. I never had an issue with the MAFia. It was just another component that needed adjustments and possible failure point. That's the same reason I'm not a fan of the BAP.
I was thinking it looks like the idlers that came on my car. I did some digging and from what I found they came from Reichard Racing. I'm slowing changing them to Metcos.
Yes was for you. Sorry, I am not always organized. I am simply a man. Think I'll pick up a 2600. what is your preference to address fuel? Bigger pumps?

My better half measured that pulley at 3 1/4" from lip to lip. I figure the belt looks flush so subtract about 1/8" x 2 = 3" pulley?

I would do suspension work before throwing too much more power at the motor: subframe connectors, diff cover, bushings, good tires, etc. Measure the pulley then decide if a change is warranted, if needed get a tuner and have Malcolmv8, 04sleeper, or Don Lasota freshen up the tune.
FYI: I have a welded and ported oem TB and plenum I would sell if you want to consider an inexpensive route to more unrestricted air.

I would wait and see on the fuel personally. I'm only running the GT pumps because they're leftover from my old car. My buddy has stock pumps with a ported blower and we just maxed them out while tuning. And they have close to 200k miles on them. He doesn't even have a wire upgrade.
I've never tuned the MAFia but as I understand it if the MAFia dies you just go back to a stock maf transfer which could result in a bad tune....if the car will even run. A replacement MAF makes more sense.
That's possible. But since the MAFia is between the sensor and the harness I would think if it died the car just wouldn't run. It's just kind of weird to tune with. There's a point where the MAFia takes over the curve. So there's a shift in the curve while datalogging. At least that's how it was in mine. There was a "step" in the middle of the MAF curve when doing a pull. I was running it with a Lightning MAF and ended up pegging that set up anyway.
Has frame ties and fresh nitto 555s. 10.5s in the rear. I'm assuming a diff cover would allow more gear oil in the box? Bushings can be done. I also read about the IRS bolts I may go that route as well. I think I'm going to slap this steeda 2.8 in and get a fresh dyno tune just for ease of mind.

You don’t wanna overfill the rear with a new cover it will spray everywhere. Ask me I know lol. I believe it’s 1.5qrts.

What's the point if a different diff cover? Just a stronger material? I'm just guessing here.

factory covers are weak they leak and break. An IRS brace is just a bandaid mine leaked with one when bought it. Went with a Ford Racing cover and power stroke grey rtv and haven’t looked back.

I have read about those getting mauled. I have some money to play with I'll look into it.

If you decide to Autonation of White Bear Lake a vendor here will have the best price on them.

I honestly don't know the specs behind it. That was back when I was first getting into tuning. At this point I suggest to anyone looking to just upgrade the MAF.
