Well, I have a warmed over 306 now with the stock MAF, I feel a bigger one should give me a real seat of the pants difference wouldn't you think? Anyway, I don't know what to go with, I've been considering the Pro-M 77mm. I like this one because it comes with a smooth elbow, a filter, and it's tuned very good (don't have to fidget with stadard and cone filters). But it costs about $400 and takes air from inside the engine compartment. I first was considering the C&L 76mm but I've heard they can run lean and they run best with a stock style air filter. Right now I have a cone filter inside a ram air box without the scoop and tubing. It's about $200. Then I thought maybe a Pro-M 75 (about $170) with a BBK cold air ($130). Or maybe a C&L 73 ($140) with a Anderson Power Pipe ($185). Or vice versa. Bottom line is I want something other than the stock tubing going to the TB and would prefer something that takes air out of the fenderwell but not if it means it will mess with the MAF's accuracy. What do you guys think? Best results in power and accuracy the Pro-M 77?

Have used C&L w/ sampling tubes (sucks, poor idle, check engine lights), Pro-M 77 & 75.
Both Pro-M worked great, no difference in my opinion, but the smog shops wouldn't let the 77 on the test dyno, so I prefer the 75. Kind of stealth and can use stock elbow and air box if really need to.

streetfiveo - whether you get a chrome or black piece...as fast as air moves through the "air intake"...the heat will not effect the air temp...black for a cheaper price and chrome if you want it to match your BBK Cai...

just curious

A new mass air sensor will definatly help with "seat o' the pants" resposne.
I would say go with an 80mm Pro M from www.jdsperformance.com. Then see if you can get a Anderson ford power pipe. The anderson ford piece will put the meter and cone filter in the fenderwell. Clean, easy install, and looks mighty sweet too. Not to mention the best set up for power increase IMHO.

Yeah, forgot to mention, what he said is true, you want to keep the air cleaner out of the engine compartment. Had idle problems with "fan wash" from fan blowing air around meter (or so I've been told) but putting filter in the fender worked well and it stays dry and cleaner than with ram air under front bumper.
