Hi Guys

I am wondering what you guys would recommend for best performance?

Should i use a MAF or use a m30 AFM with m20 electrics in it as per?http://www.davelength.net/car/bigsix.html
This will be going on a m20b28 stroker and i will also use a Big Bore Throttle body and honed intake plenum.

My second question is what schrick cam should i use? 288, 284 or 272?
The car will be used for track days but i still want to be able to drive it on the weekends on normal streets.

Thanks

I use a Miller MAF conversion with WAR chip and run a 272 Schrick. Great cam, very streetable. My personal opinion is that the 288 is getting to be a bit much for a car that is primarily street driven. You might also want to pm "ant", a member of this forum. He runs A-Tech and is one of the top E30 guys around today. He could very well help you out on a MAF conversion for your car, His work is top-notch.

+1 for contacting Ant and also using a MAF - I have a Miller MAF on my 325 and despite the shortfalls of the conversion, it is a BIG improvement over the AFM...
