With the current mods in my signature I'm still running the stock MAF and I could pick up a 76mm C&L for like $50 is it worth it? Will I notice any gains? I got the car dynoed a few weeks back and was at 305tq and 225hp at the wheels and they said the car was running rich and had another 25 hp in it. My future plans are to do tw heads and stage 1 cam opinions please.

id go ahead and pick it up, thats cheap/ also a good rule of thumb is that your maf meter and throttle body need to be sorta matched. 75t/b- 75 maf. 70/70 you get the picture

I'd do it.

55mm MAF is tiny. If you don't do a 76mm C&L, you could do a 70mm SN95 MAF conversion

That would still be smaller than his throttle body so I think the C&L 76mm MAF would be the better option. Just make sure that the calibration tube is for the stock 19lb injectors.

He's got stock heads. A 75mm TB is overkill for that. He'll run out of breathing room in the heads before he ever maxes out a 70mm MAF.

I think you'll see marginal if any gains. You haven't really done anything to your engine other than the upper and lower intake. I know you've done the exhaust but until you can turn the RPM up beyond 5,000 you won't really see any advantage to it. Put a better set of heads on it first.
