I would just convert to MAF. Pretty inexpensive. But, if you are committed to the SD then the only thing I would worry about is having to get a new tune everytime you mod the car.


Also, SD is fairly versatile as long as you aren't changing the cam around. But I am not sure about that intake with SD. I have heard people have luck with changing heads and intakes without the SD going crazy on them. Good luck either way.

k not planning on any major mods yet

Box intake has no place on a stock motor. You will lose all bottom end.

If an intake is the only mod your doing go down the lines of a trick flow street, edelbrock performer, gt40, or cobra. A box style intake is overkill and will only hurt performance on a stock motor, especially with stock heads.
