www.rpmoutlet.com

The C&L 85MAF w/ Inlet pipe + Accufab 75mm TB and C&L plenum is $725

I saw somewhere that someone got this set up with full exhaust, headers and pullies and was doing 280rwhp

But then I have seen a couple people post that with no S/C you gain no HP

Dunno whats going on with that

it depends now dont go and buy one calibrated with bigger injectors if your gonna keep your engine stock, but if your engine is stock right now you can spend that money on something else and get better gains. I wouldnt go to a maf until you got a sc or better flowing intake and heads. Spend the money on exhaust and gears you'll get a better kick out of them than the maf at this point

I was going to do the MAF w/ inlet pipe, 75mm TB and plenum at the same time and then a few pay checks later get gears prolly 3.73. I was told headers are a waste of money for me because with my X I have to get shortys and they are fairly cheap but installing them is a pain or is going to cost me a bit =(

you might be able to use the 2002 lightening maf it's a 90mm..light wieght..and don't waste your $$$ on an accufab when a nice used one for 125.00...but you need exhaust upgrades
