Mass air is for if u want 2 put aftermarket heads/cam/intake on ur car and have it adjust well 2 the more air flow.Speed density runs on a lack of air which those cars r quite fast stock with a 5 speed but the computer on a speed density wont adust well 2 the more air flow therefore it will run like crap.So if u want 2 mod {but who doesn't}go mass air but if u want 2 stick 2 simple bolt ons go Speed density

mass air is better if you want to mod your engine

Looks alright...I think they are asking too much. I wouldn't give more than $3,800

I like it especially since its a 5 speed but $4500 seems a bit high in my opinion. i would go 2 KellyBlueBook.com and see what its worth. cuz there is a guy selling a 88 LX vert.5.0 5-speed with 91K where i live he wants 5K for it and i check the value and its only worth $2415 in excellent condition.so always do ur homework first so that way u don't make the same mistake i did on my 04 and pay alot more that what the carbooks for
