why do you need a new MAF?? are you pegging the stock one? if not there will be zero power gains by switching

you will have to retune for any new MAF you put on.

+1 If your not pegging your stocker there is no use in spending the money on a bigger one and spending the money to tune the MAF on a stock/near stock car.

Now if you are pegging the stock MAF I would look into a Lightning 90mm MAF or if you plan on running high boost/power (400-450+ rwhp) I would look into an SCT MAF.

stock MAF is large enough to get enough air to your engine , unless you have a built engine you wont benefit from it ....

I bought the C&L mass air meter housing which is the same size but better flowing. All you do is transfer your old meter to the new housing. I noticed some extra power although minimal and quicker acceleration of RPMs. I dont know what a near stock car would gain but I think you should go with a plenum first. There would be no point if you have more air through the mass air but the plenum or throttle body is the same. make sure you have the right filter combo if you do get it so it fits. I suggest the JLT horsepower budget kit because you need a large filter that clamps on to the meter housing and a typical CAI fits only the stock meter.

the added power is from the meter leaning out the air/fuel ratio , just the same as a programmer does , you should get your air/fuel checked if you havent already ....

Yeah I just recently added 4% fuel since the plenum, mass air, and long tube headers. Hopefully that's just right if you know about tuning. I just haven't found a dyno yet in my area since moving up to college.
