Search.

Otherwise, it's only useful for major modifications, like a cam.

Well, that B cam is pretty mild and isn't going to choke an SD setup.
Mass Air uses airflow taken in to adjust timing/fuel/etc... the more air you can get, the computer can help you out. With SD, your settings are pretty much set. But SD can still do pretty well with some mods. I think they can deal fairly well with a blower since that's forcing the air through.

But when you start putting on bigger parts like an F cam and some heads with larger intake runner, without a blower, mass air systems can make more use of such mods.

A B cam is not a major modification. Also, there is a lot more to it than just having a different cam...lobe seperation is the major thing, and the VII has a unique situation with the SD and the stock cam specs.

Ifound the B303 cam is good all round cam for 302 HO with stock e7 heads. is ther more from this cam if i use MAF . Im thinking i might need MAF for project clincoln but not my winter beater . So if you have a stock set up i cant see MAF being that must have part .But i could be wrong

The only thing a MAF conversion will do for a stock car is give you 1-2 more MPG.
