you dont "HAVE TO" convert from sd. the only thing is when u do the cam and all that you have to get a chip burned to match it all and youll be fine. but everytime u do something your going to have to get it re-burned so its better off to convert to maf and save the money in the long run.

It's not too bad to do it once or twice... it's the doing it after every mod to get your car to work that ends up costing & get's annoying.

^^do you believe that it is okay to have a chip burned after a full H/C/I swap. Will the SD produce better results than the MAF? I am only wondering because people say that stock SD cars are a little Quicker than stock MAF cars. Just wondering.

They are, but only because of the restriction of the maf being in the way. It's only a couple hp. Nothing big. I'd much rather have maf, even at the cost of 1-4hp.

Ok. If I was to save all of my pennies and buy an H/C/I combo and get a chip burned for the computer, I would be able to drive my car with excellent results. where can I find a place to burn a chip for me? About how much would this chip run me? Is it going to be about the same as doing the MAF swap?
