Are you still running your stock air box and TB?
I put in a 75mm for 19# injectors along with a 65mm tb and CAI when I replaced mine. If you are still running stock tb and box I don't see the need to change your MAF yet unless its bad.
Yeah, I wouldn't mess with it unless you are at the point where you need bigger injectors. It's just one of those mods that won't give you that much back for the money you have to spend on it. If you are dead set on getting one, I'd say get a C&L so you can just change the sampling tube if you upgrade later.
Get the MAF. These guys have no proof to back up what they are saying. My very first mod to my car was a 76mm C&L calibrated for 19 lb/hr injectors. It came with a new K&N, heat shield, inlet tube, and MAF. It gave the car a noticeable gain all over the power band. The throttle response was way better, and even with the stock intake, it gave me about another 100-200 RPM up top. It was well worth it.
Did you bother to read my post thoroughly?
I said that I DIDN"T see the need for one, NOT that he should not get it.
You got yours with a K&N and an inlet tube. If he is still running his stock box and is only replacing the MAF only then he can do other things with $200 than replacing the MAF. IMO
Do you have any documented dyno PROOF that it gave you the results you said or are you just saying this b/c you think that is what it gave you?
I stick by what I say. Not to start a debate or anything, but I just replaced my MAF with a 75mm Pro-M and noticed a slight difference, so I'm not saying it's useless by any means, but unless you're doing injectors I think there are better things you can do with that kind of money. No, I didn't waste the money on a dyno after this one mod so I don't have "proof," but I'd definately take my H-pipe for example over the MAF. Just my opinion, and I really believe I'm right. So take the advice or leave it I guess.
No gains? Funny. Before I added my 65 mm BBK TB, 75 mm Bullet and Fenderwell CAI all I had was full exhaust and 3.73's (and badass tranny), when I added that stuff, reset the computer, I had big gains. Mostly from 2500-4500, also, a cool whistling sound.
Joe, that's cool I just didn't think you understood my comment.
Yes C&L is a nice set-up. It sounded like he just wanted to replace the MAF alone in his stock box. I had a 75 Maf, CAI and 65 mmTB when I did mine and yes it did improve but it was done all together so I can't say myself that I know what just the MAF mod alone would do.
If you are doing major power ad-ons soon, DONT get C&L. Get a ProM 77 (or 80 to save some $$).
This way, you get it ONCE with the right calibration. My friend did his 95 years ago with MAF, TB, and U/L intake all at once, and he said it felt like a new car.
I agree with JR that unless it's bad, changing out only the MAF is probably not worth the $$, since it could be better used.
I'd wait on the MAF until you have to upgrade the injectors so you dont have to spend even more money getting it reclaibrated By then you'll really have a need for a new and bigger MAF. Hell... I'm still running the stock MAF
