The Demolet is the best I've tested. It'll add 6-10 to an NA car depending on your other mods.

I'd skip the meter unless you have some serious mods and are about to get a tune. It's a waste of money otherwise.
Considering we sell Pro-M meters, that should tell you something....i.e. look elsewhere until you're powe ris much higher.

If you want a CAI we carry a few and Dragon plenums and TB's to match.
I'd ballpark the Dragon plenum/TB/and DeMolet CAI combo at around 20hp total.

Which CAI would you buy for a 1999 Mustang GT: JLT, Steeda, K&N or a CNL with a Trueflow inlet pipe and the MAF system, I have heard however that you shouldn't change your stock meter with the CNL kit with just bolt ons.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated

I made one out of an OLD BONG I found in my basemnent.The bowl lines up perfectly with the bigger vacuum hose. The car didn't want to start after the install though, just wanted to sit in the garage and do nothing.

factory maf's are good for 400hp at this point you do not need one, unless of course you are supercharged. as for the hi flow intake my vote goes for steeda's version. (they give you a blue filter wich looks pretty)
