Cool after market throttle body and maf

are the power gains noticable when you install an aftermarket throttle body and mass airflow sensor? i wanna know what else i can do in the quest for more power for my truck. i already have ceramic coated shorty headers, the big cats cut out, glass pack for a muffler(for now), aem bruteforce cold air intake, and a edge evolution programmer. after i bolted all that stuff on i got very nice power gains and all but i still want more. down the road im gonna rebuild my engine and put a mild cam in it with roller rockers and supercharge it in the hopes of big numbers, like in the 500+ hp range. but thats a little ways down the road. so for now im just looking to get a little here and a little there. and does anyone know if you can bolt a lightning engine up to a 4x4 f150 tranny?

to start anwsering your multiple Q. yes you can feel the diffrence with a 80 mm throttle body and 90mm MAF but i installed larger inj. at the same time (24#) the difrence is in the top end, and yes you can bolt a lightning engine to your truck you can also swap out the supercharger and related components to your engine also, if you are enterested i am selling my old BBK 80 MM throttle body, 24# ford racing inj, 80 mm granettelli maf and superchips 9100 custom tuner to make it all work, if you are enterested send me a PM, it will be on e-bay shortly, i will sell it all as one for cheap let me know.

He needs a tune for the MAF and TB as well. The Edge only supports stock parts.
