I had a BBK CAI unit on my 03 auto gt for awhile, but the car never ran right with it on so I took it off. I have the accufab tb and plenum on order and would like either of the afore mentioned to complement it. I was set to get the K&N FIPK, but then somebody told me about the maf. I was wondering which would be better and if there is a prefered brand. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I actually tried the stock MAF with all my other intake stuff, and could feel little difference. Then, I put the MAF on and WOW! Get the intake and the MAF with the combination of the other mods (plenum and TB), and you'll really feel the difference.

The bbk crap gave me a rough and tough idle, the car was a bear to start half the time, and it would stumble around the mid4k range if you were on it. Went back to my trusty kn drop in and all is fine.
