In a coupla days Leila (yes i named the stang) won't be stock anymore:

80 mm maf system

C&L Tru Flow inlet pipe

I'm getting both of those for 420 including labor installed at a local speed shop w00t!! I'm thinking around 241 - 245 rwhp
what do you think?

I'm not sure about the '01s, but the '04s come with an 80mm MAF stock. It will not give you anything extra since your tb is still 65mm. The pipe and filter will give you about 7-8 rwhp. You're looking at about 228 rwhp if you have a manual tranny, 215 if auto. That is if these are the only mods.

You should install them yourself unless the installation is free. My guess is about 90 minutes with simple hand tools, but maybe less.

Once installed, you need to work on your exhaust. Get the air flowing out then work on your intake later. You can also swap gears or install underdrive pulleys. Pulleys will give about 5 hp or so, but the gears will really wake up your car. 4.10s are what is commonly recommended.

^^^^That's what's next for xmas borla stingers catback....I'd rather pay the 40 bucks and get it installed right. Probably between then and now I'll get C&L plenum and a BBK 75 mm tb.

Whoa, you need to finish the exhaust, or you'll not see gains from the plenum/tb combo. Mid pipe at least, but recommend headers, too. Are you planning on S/Cing the car? If not, get the 70mm. It's more than enough and you won't see any more gain with the 75.
