To stay N/A or not?

[damacman]

The dilemma - don't want to make my daily driver impossible to manage. Considering adding the following to it:

Electric Water Pump
Plenum / 75 mm TB
Diablo Sport Programmer

Will it benefit from a larger MAF at this point given my mods? Will I benefit by having a pro tune it? I think this combo would get me over 300 rwhp and it'd still be real drivable.

Or, supercharge it? Give me some input . . . have money to spend . . .

Why do you have a boost cooler? And i don't see you getting to 300rwhp without atleast Cams, and maybe P&P your heads.

*Side note* How are you Bassani Mid Lenth Headers? Where they a pain in the ass to install? How low do they hang down? I'd like to upgrade from my shorties but am afraid i'll bang them up cause my car is fairly low.

One can inject methanol / water into a n/a too. I don't keep the system "armed" all the time though - just use it in the spring and summer where the humidity is less than 20% here.

Ah, the mid-lengths - I get asked this question all the time. Not too painful to install (compared to like replacing my clutch), figure on 8 hours if you flat-back it. I've NEVER scraped 'em, even with my car as low as it is - but I can scrape the cats over speed bumps so I just avoid them.

Now, back to the question at hand . . .

You will probably be in the 270-280 range. Stick with SCT tuners, that Diablo is crap. Your stock MAF is fine.
