Next Mod?
Yup, I'm posting another next mod thread, mainly because I can't find what I wanted searching, and maybe for a good reason. But I was thinking of getting an upgraded MAF for my next mod, but don't know if it's worth it and couldn't really find any threads on it. I want more power, so what would be a good next mod for me? I don't want to touch the suspension for now, that will come at a later date.
Car: 2000 GT 5 speed
Current Power gainer/speed mods:
Wider tires (before someone tells me this is the best speed mod)
BBK CAI
BBK Throttle Body
C&L upper intake elbow
Magnaflow Catback
Sniper 93 Octane tune
Possible mod's I'm thinking of:
MAF
Steeda UDP
X or H pipe (maybe)
Mods I don't want/don't think I need:
Headers
H or X pipe (happy with the way the car sounds now, and hear it doesn't gain power)
Gears (I do a ton of highway driving and don't want to turn any higher RPM than I do now)
Now that being said, my buddies friend has a pile of 01 Cobra parts and I was wondering if any of that stuff may fit my car. Mainly I'm thinking about the MAF (if it's even better than mine).

As I said in my post, I don't want to do gears, I do to much highway driving for that. I also read that the MAF does gain a few HP to the wheels. I can pretend it helps gas mileage too.

I have some already, but like I said in my post, I'm really looking for power at this point.
That's to extreme for me right now, I was debating some spray, but I really don't want to blow my motor to all hell and back. It's my DD and I don't think I should play around like that even though everyone says it's safe. I'm more of a want the power all the time kind of guy. I don't want to be filling bottles all the time and worry about my bottle being turned on on the highway when I feel the need to pass someone.

Sorry, i missed the gears thing. But i am telling you that upgrading your MAF (at our current power level) will do nothing for you. If you doubt that just ask around. UDP's and a mid pipe will be like a shot of nitrous compared to the MAF upgrade lol.
I really don't know why you won't do gears, I don't see what highway driving has to do with anything. I got 3.73's and I didn't notice any difference in gas mileage, if anything, MAYBE a mile. My highway RPM's sit around 2100 or so.
That's really the BEST bang for your buck mod you can do, IMO.
I don't see why you'd get a MAF. And you got a CAI...which didn't benefit you at all besides looking pretty.
But, I guess UDP would be a good mod for you to get, since you're anti-gear.
