    An MAF that size with your few mods will gain you nothing. Just wait till you put a blower on.

    Yeah as mentioned....do you have a blower going on the car soon? If so what size injectors are you running? That will help a little

    A MAF is a supporting mod not a performance mod.

    well like i said i am tryin to get a blower sometime soon just depends on money, and as far as injectors go prolly like 42# injectors for now. and i can get one for a descent price and i cant stand buyin somethin then upgradin it a couple months later.

    Well, resist the urge. If you start throwing mods like bigger MAF, Throttle Body, Injectors and so forth on it your car is gonna run like crap without the main horsepower maker.

    It will gain 1-2HP if your lucky. It has nothing to do with tuning or anything of that nature....its physically bigger than your stock one and will flow the air your engine needs to breathe easier....even if your not at the MAX flow of your stock one. Also even if there are other restrictions that are worse....it will still help a small amount. It may actually equal to 0.X HP, depending on what you have done...but it will not hurt power.
    Good upgrade thats ONLY worth it if your going with forced induction later....and personally I would look into the SCT BA2800 MAF if your going to upgrade for forced induction. L MAF pegs too easy.

    i dont think they make the 2800 anymore.
    i believe it is the 2600 and the 3000 IIRC.
    my 3000 is seeing 1015 counts already. i should have just bought a mafia for my LMAF

    You are gonna need a tune to put in a new maf. That alot of money for no gain.

    you will lose power going with a bigger MAF. The stock one isn't pegged till over 300rwhp.

    As Oxford stated, it is not a power maker, but supports your car. Don't change it until you get a blower, or you will hurt your performance.

    Yea your right....I actually have the new design 2600 on my car :doh:

    You can buy a mafia NOW....it works just fine with the BA MAFs. The range is incredible....just need a good tuner to do it.

    How many #s per min are you seeing @ 1015 AD counts?
