Wink If i upgrade my T/B do i have to do the maf sensor?

Hey guys im thinking of upgrading my Throttle body from the 65mm to the 70mm tickford one, on my au 2 xr8 200kw ute- firstly is it a good/worth while mod?
Secondly do i then need to replace my mass air flow sensor?

Ive got a flash box so it can be tunned later.... wanting to do with my 1.72's YT's and a new cam?
Any thoughts or suggesting would be great. thanks peter

70mm is plenty big enough for virtually any street driven 5L.
75mm is way too big IMO.

Reality is, the difference between 65mm and 70mm is not a lot, as the 65mm unit will flow almost enough to rev to 7000rpm.

$575, thats abit steep. I got a 70mm Ford Racing T/B and EGR spacer from the states for $350 brand new.
75mm is WAY too big for a 5.0. 70mm is as big as you want to go, ad that is MAXIMUM. 65mm will be the best for your mild set-up.
How can i say that a bigger throttle body and 1.72 rockers will go well with your new cam your getting when i dont even know what cam your getting.
I honestly think you dont know what you want, you have another thread started about supercharging, yet your saying here that you just got 1.72 rockers and a new camshaft kit. :S

No im tossing up ideas, I have the R rockers in the garage ready to go, Have a mate in newy that has a couple of these ford racing T/B kits... And have Chris from blue power tracking a cam kit for me.
Then when i picked up my ute from ford today my mechanic suggested supercharging it?
Where as ive always wanted a 5.6L so?
