i would imagine my set up is as good as a cold air kit. basically a cold air kit is just a free flowing pipe with smooth bends that draws air from the fenderwell. my motor draws from the fender and has a smooth bend up by the tb.

the maf i have is this one http://www.jdsperformance.com/index....tem&inmake=all
but this one is good if your going to stay N/A http://www.jdsperformance.com/index....tem&inmake=all its also half the price.
sense the stock maf is smaller then the stock tb, a larger maf will help even if you dont get a bigger tb but it will do the most gain if you get a bigger tb too

as far as professional products goes, yes they are cheaper but ive never had any problems with any of there stuff. i paid $160 (shipped) for my tb and egr and i paid $350 (shipped) for my manifold and a fel-pro intake gasket. the manifold is a copy of the edelbrock one.
