Ok, i need a little help.
Im strapped for cash and im tryin to figure out whether or not i should go with an Aftermarket TB or Headers first. I need you guys to help me figure out what would benefit me the most... I have aftermarket Exhaust as you can see. Im kind leaning towards a new TB because i have a 4inch powerpiped, tryin to flow through a Stock TB. I would appreciate Help/suggestions in any way.

Also i have a 99 cobra with the 80 mm MASS air. Can anyone out there tell me if they make a bigger MASS air for my car, and if not, is the aftermarket MASS air really worth it? cuz the aftermarket is the same size?

THANKS!

Go with headers. My friend gained 23rwhp from headers and x-pipe on a n/a bullitt. Your sc'd so I would think you'll gain more. If you change the mass air you'll need a tune for sure! You can go with a Lightning 90mm.
A mass air meter, tb and tune will pick up good power too since you have a supercharger.
Sorry I'm not much help, I'd save up and do it all!

Thanks for the suggestion, im prolly gonna save, knock out intake at one time, then exhaust at another time

do you know how much it costs to calibrate the MAF, it shouldnt be a dyno tune, it should just be a computer thing....

90mm PRO-M MAF would work for you. They also make larger ones, so I would call and ask what would best suit your application. They will calibrate the MAF for you for whatever size injector your running. Stay away from the Univer MAF I have had nothing but problems with mine I would definitely go with headers first, you will notice not only power but sound difference as well. TB's are nice and you will notice some with it, but nothing near the headers. If cost is an issue, save for the headers, it will be money well spent.

definitely go with headers. seeing you're from texas might want to go with shorties because of emissions. Hmm, you're from friendswood. you know a guy named Jeremy works at Horizon indoor Soccer.

Headers i would go with first because of the hp gain and sound with the TB you get hp but no noticble sound diffrence

I agree with the rest. Definately go with headers with a supercharged setup over a TB.
