Default next mod ?

i finally have enough money to start workin on my car and i just got an off road xpipe and flowmaster cat back. for my next mods i was thinking a MAF and new throttle body. any other suggestions are welcome and very much appreciated. i dont race my car. i just want something fun to drive on my days off. anyways my question is what size throttle body should i get? is 75mm too much for what im tryin to accomplish? also i was looking at a MAF from c&l and which one do i get the 19lbs or 24lbs? thanks again everyone!

racing rice is like the special olympics. even if you win you're still retarded.

75mm is wayyy to big. a 65 would be good for your plans. i would get gears next. 3.73s for stick, 4.10s for auto. hope that helps. if you decide to get the MAF, you have 19# injectors.

As an aside, how does the car feel now with the xpipe and catback?

yeah 60mm stock so 65 will be good enough. If you do go for the maf you should go for the C&L 76mm inlet tube and all that, goes for about 300 shipped but that will the tb will give you a good seat of the pants feel. Also like mentioned earlier the gears, 3.73 for stick and 4.10 for auto. You may want to look into suspension soon, especially if you get the gears. Upper and lower control arms and dont forget some underdrive pullies.
