So if my block needs boring and the mods above already sitting in my shop waiting to be installed how much can I bore it without upsetting the sd and the engine pulling air to compensate for more displacement

Overbore has no effect on the EFI system, but don't bore any more than necessary so the block remains as robust as possible.

Ok and is there a company that makes a plug and play maf kit for my truck? Can I rob one out of a 95 truck and it be plug and play no splicing? I have an aod trans so i dont think it is computer controlled. Thinking if no kits available i can rob the system off of a 95.

Ford used to make a kit that was plug and play(I have on on my truck) but it is long been discontinued.. you may find one used if you search around though. The parts from another truck will not be plug and play, some rewiring will be necessary.

Will compression ratio affect the speed density? I think I read the gt40p heads have a
58cc combustion chamber and that will put me real close to 9.1:1 was going to try a reach a 10:1 if it did not disturb the computer.
