Lex AFM + 440s??
Howdy All,
Long time reader, first time thread starter-upper. 
Background:
I recently purchased a Lex AFM + 550s from someone on another forum. It turns out the 550s are bad. 
Questions:
Can I get away with using the Lex AFM w/ my stock 440s to yield increased power so long as it's tuned correctly with my SAFCII?
or
Should I stay with stock AFM and stock 440s until I can get the 550s rebuilt by RCEng?
Thanks in advance for your help.
(PS. I searched to no avail on the subject.)

I would get them cleaned and flow tested before going too crazy. But I think there are lots of people that have done it.

Re: Lex AFM + 440s??
Right on. John's a really cool guy. I bought my K&N kit from him.
So, now I'm wondering if I'd need to upgrade my fuel pump like he did to get enough fuel out of the 440s?
I should let it be known that my goal is a reliable/modest 300 rwhp. I'm not trying to break records or anything.
Mod list so far:
SAFCII
Profec B
K&N FIPK
2.5" to 3" Megan Racing dp
3" HK$ catback w/ gutted cat
HK$ MHG tq'd to 80 ft-lbs
A342 (1JZ) a/t tranny
Thanks again for your help!

Yes, get a larger fuel pump, an AFPR and get rid of the "J-tube".
