Im buying a Trick Flow Intake for my 95 GT 5-spd soon, along with a new MAF tuned for my CAI and 19# injectors, and a BBK 70 mm TB. any idea how many hp these will add?? i have a BBK CAI, MSD ignition, headers, O/R H-pipe, Flowmaster catback and a couple others if that matters. Thanks in advance!!

I wouldnt bother with the MAF just yet because if you ever swap injectors your gonna have to pay for a recal. The stocker will do ya fine for now.

+1

In most cases, moving to a 19lb caled maf is a mod that is gonna give you so very little gain or its very likely that you'll get no gain at all.

Look at my sig and you'll be able to see how much airflow our stock maf can support as I just pegged it or pushed it to its max limit.

I'd put my money on something different that would give a noticeable power gain for the money spent.

About that bbk tb .............

If you haven't already got it, it is very similar to the maf in respect to giving a pretty bad gain for the buck spent.

I'd put the money toward gears

Not much additional 30hp at the crank max, drop the MAF and TB and get gears, you'll be happy

Maybe 20 ft-lbs of torque across the power band. The intake manifold would account for 90% of that. Way too much money for such a little gain. The intake is well worth it.

The stock MAF is specifically calibrated for the stock ecu. Unless you are pegging the maf, leave the stocker; unless you want lots of problems. The TB/MAF is a waste of time until after you add new heads/cam.

+1 for gears or start saving for the heads/cam.
