Little bit more background info would be helpful. What year is your car, current mods you arleady have done? Can tell you one thing right off the bat skip the MAF, numerous people have done tests and it shows no gains from changing MAF's unless you peg the stock one which doesnt happen till around 500 rwhp, some cases it even shows a loss in power. If by intake system u mean cold air intake you are probably better off just skipping it doesnt really do much performance wise. BBK 75mm TB and plenum is a good choice, I would prefer Accufab or C&L but hey if u want to go with BBK thats all good also. A guy over on modulardepot.com did a test with 4 TB and plenum combo's Accufab was #1 and C&L was #2 if I remeber correclty.

RE: next purchase

dont get a 75 unless ur blown or have an engine rebuild

too mcuh air in the engine will choke it off and give u less HP. if ur look for the best get Accufab

on a near stock stang the stock MAF is fine up to 380HP

i dont think it is worth it

Actually not true, the guy who did the test over on modulardepot.com got better results from having a 75mm TB over a 70MM TB, and only had minor bolt-ons. I believe all he had was LT's and an X-pipe, I also talked to the guy who did the testing and he said he got better results everytime from the 75mm TB. It is a common misconception thinking that the 75mm will be to big its not go for the 75mm trust me. Dont beleive me go look at the dyno results over on modulardepot.com
