Just be careful with that chip, I had it in mine.
You have to remove the chip and re-program it everytime you do another mod to the car.
Mine fryed after driving only like 50 miles after a new mod.

the lightning maf is a completely useless mod if you ask me about it.... unless you have a turbo or a supercharger, its a waste of money... no added power

+1 Who ever sold you that was a fool and wasn't in your best interest! There are many people out there that have S/C'ers with the stock MAF! It reads airflow that's it! You only need a bigger one if you are pegging your maf and even then I suggest getting a mafia interface adapter that allows higher voltage spikes before it pegs out. Only the 05+ benefit from larger mafs! I would say also some KDW's are nice but I hope they aren't going on those wheels???? They is ugly!

+1

You will also need a custom tune, you can't just drop the SCT in and hope it works. Where did you get it? Is it a custom tune or just something someone else had (with who knows whats on it)?
