So I'am very interested in purchasing a vortech kit for my 95 cobra. It's already a h/c/i car with all the bolt-on's. When I get kit I'm going to due to normal 255-pump, 42lb injectors, probably water-meth injection. What i'm not sure is if should just run calibrated maf, msd boost-timing retard, fmu, and pms to get it tuned.. or should I take it to a reputable tuner and have them dyno tune it.... I'm leaning towards a dyno tune, but if i go that route what will i need or not need to get to have it tuned.
Vortech and tuning..

I am planning a vortech for my 94 and planning a dynotrip for it.

no need for fmu if you plan on a tune, wich is your best bet.

No fmu, timing retard need it. No calibrared maf need it either. .
I'm definitely going the tuned route, just need the boost timing retard, and whatever my tuner recommends for ecu tuning. I'm probably gonna need to get a larger maf to accommodate the s/c on top of my h/c/i setup.. hoping for around 420hp to the wheels around 10psi

No you don't need that. . All the timing changes will be done on the tune. .
255lph pump and 42# will be fine. pro-m 80mm maf is what i have and it works great. depending on the HCI you have, 420 is very attainable goal. dyno tuning is a must. don't even both with a timing retard and FMU. they are bandaids for a fuel problem that won't exist if you go with bigger inj/pump and a good tune.

there are better options on maf's to look at.

There is no need to calibrate the maf.. calibrated maf that try to go with out a tune. . All the calibration for the fuel injector will be done in the tune. . I like slot style maf my self. .
and those are......

I use the lightning maf myself and am happy with it.

lightning is not better than pro m specially in a boosted operation. .
