Will a lightning 90mm maf support a 6# pulley? The reason I ask is I have a guy telling me that it may peg out.

You should get a MAFia for safety
according to Ryan at JDM it should be good for just a 6# pulley. me and him have been emailing back and forth all day about my tune and he says the 90mm maf should be fine for what the truck will be making with just a 6# lower and a intake.
Well I hope so. All my truck will have on it will be a jlt cai, sct3 with tune, 90mm maf, 6#pulley, and some tr6's. By the way are you guys using the 160 degree thermostat and if so any problems?

No problems here with the 160 T-stat.
A stock 90mm MAF "should" be enough for a 6# pulley, but it's best to check your MAF counts to make sure. In the right (or wrong) circumstance, it could peg.
exactly...where you are has a huge play on things.
I ran a 6# with a good tune with no problems. I just picked up the Mafia as added insurance
Is a blown engine worth saving $150 to you?
+1 just get a SCT MAF and dont worry about it
exactly.....any good tuner will tell you that to be safe the mafia is well worth the money.
may i ask where u purchase your hood
I was close to pegging my MAF counts with just a 4lb lower. Get the MAF extender and follow Fades advise. It's cheap insurance.
Yes spend the extra cash and get a mafia.
+2.... just got my new engine in
It's a Cervinis cowl hood.
Temperature plays a big role. The colder air is more dense, so the MAF could potentially peg as it reads the air flowing across it.

With just a 4lb'er and other intake mods as listed I decided I didn't want to risk it (in the winter especially) and I threw on the BA 2600 for safety. The nice thing is that should be the last MAF I'll ever need!

Mine doesn't peg in cold weather but every truck is different.
Get it tuned on a dyno and datalog the counts from the MAF. It's the only way to be sure.

just get a MAFia, better yet get a SCT2400, and a MAFia, that way you will have no worries and can sleep soundly
keep your eye out for one in the classifieds...they pop up pretty often.
