ive got the BBK fenderwell mount. took me all of @ 10min to put it on. simple R&R-plug and play kind of deal. only bad thing is, my buddy had one on his 10.5:1 331, and he had to get the Anderson Power Pipe because the BBK couldnt move enough air for his engine. so, if you plan on having outrageous amounts of power, you might as well go ahead and get the Power Pipe. and you dont need a new MAF sensor. should come with the silicone couplers to fit right around it has the screw type clamps.

The MAC fenderwell CAI is also has an EO #.
I know by installing the MAC CAI unit on my car that it's a 10 min or less install and there is no plug need or there wasn't on the MAC CAI.

i bought mine '04 and i dont remember any "extra sensor holes"...i may be wrong, but i dont remember anything like that. i can check in the morning though when i go run some errands and let you know. maybe its a revised model of the fenderwell mount.

The OP could also get an Ebay one. For under $50 they're hard to beat, IMO. My Ebay one worked fine.
