Yes 70MM is the stock size -vs- 55MM for the standard 5.0 Also the throttle body is 65MM -vs- 60MM on the standard 5.0

Go with the bbk 76mm if you change it. The calibration for the cobra is different so they hit ya with a little extra charge but well worth it. Also, you'll need to figure out which intake set up you want to stick with since this plays a part in the calibration too. I went with a fender well set up and also did an accufab 75 mm throttle body at the same time. The combo of the 3 made a huge difference.

If you going to upgrade the MAF may as well go with the bigger throttle body too.

I had a 75mm on mine with the bbk intake and I think it helped but as we've seen others will disagree

I hope your not bitter and refering to my post that a cold air intake alone wont be a huge difference. I was only letting the guy know that the reason he didn't notice much is because the stock intake is already getting the air from the fenderwell and flows enuff for stock application. Some may "feel" a difference but im sure its more due to the sound it makes.

I personally wouldn't change the maf unless the motor is flowing enough air and maxing it out. If the new meters air flow calibration is off it might give you drivability issues. Seen it many times.[/quote]
