Default MAF worth it?

I'm still running the stock on my setup. Would spending the money on a larger MAF give me a noticable gain? I guess my intake track is only as good as the smallest restriction?

You probably do not need a bigger MAF at this point.

spending money on a maf at this point would be stupid.

If you want to go larger, get an SN-95 maf with the filter adapter. Cost you about $35 and get you a 70mm maf.

you wont notice any power from it though.

Would a TB and/MAF even be worth it with the gt40ps? The stock MAF looks so restrictive, I doubt it would even fit a golf ball through the hole lol
