Mass Air Required or Not?

Mass Air Required or Not?
I have purchased a set of GT40 heads that have been ported and polished and have 1.94int and 1.6 exh valves. Here are the flow numbers:
Head Casting I / E Valve Lift Port Configuration
Size 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7
GT-40 Cast Iron I 1.94 98 156 207 225 237 242
GT-40 Cast Iron E 1.6 127 155 178 195 203 203
I am installing 1.7 roller rockers and longtube headers. This is a 94 F350 with a 351W SD with an E04D.
Do I need mass air?

You can use an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to increase the rail pressure at WOT or tuning software to increase the WOT fuel multipliers.

The 19lb injectors are good for 300hp, give or take, with standard fuel rail pressures. They can be stretched well beyond that with much higher pressures, such as with a blower and FMU, but it will shorten the injector lifespan. I'm guessing you are using the 351 truck intake at this point.. if so you probably won't exceed the capabilities of the 19 lbers, though you should keep an eye on the fuel pump via fuel pressure as Blurry indicated.

The stock computer is not programmed to handle positive intake air pressures. A blower on an naturally aspirated EFI motor requires an FMU to raise fuel pressure along with boost(this is how the motor gets the extra fuel it needs), and it needs a way to retard ignition with boost, or detonation will blow holes in the pistons in minutes.

What are the 351 roller cam specs? I have not been able to afford the 1.7 rockers yet. Here are the 2 cams I have access to:
Stock HO cam:
266/266 .444/.444 214/214 @.050" lift
Crane CompuCam 2031:
276/282 .468/.498 214/220 @.050"lift
I also have a Lunati cam that I am trying to get the specs for. Which cam would be be best with 1.6s or 1.7s so far?
