I think if you change the t/b and plenum you should change the maf. I have a 90mm sct but i hear the lightnings are good and cheaper. You will like the gears man they make a big diff. I still have stock headers on my car. But alot of guys in here will tell you long tubes or nothin. There are a couple guys in here from Pa. They will know about the legal thing.

You don't need to change your MAF.

you really only need to change you MAF when going F/I, no need just for cai or even tb/plenum
