bbk 76mm maf.....is it worth it over stock??

[ba#97]

just wondering if it's worth the money compared to stock....interested in getting the bbk cold air but for now i'm making my own.

who snapped the butterfly last year on their bbk?

Stock mass air is good to about 300 rwhp and you only need to upgrade if you are maxing it out ....

have you ever compaired our stock to an aftermarket one? Never seen a more restrictive design. Might be good up too 300 but it still seems like it would slow things down more.

If you're gonna invest in a new MAF meter, do yourself a favor and get a Pro-M.

the tuner I took my car too could not disagree more. He said weighted maf worked ok but if you want to do it right that there are many better ways. I by no means am an expert on the subj but he certainly was.

so for arguments sake....a bigger one would help? maybe? i'm not expecting some huge power gain but just wondering if it would be worth it at some point. not going for huge #'s with this car either.

 

[ttocs]

depends on what has been done on your car. Just that alone will not yet make a huge difference but it will be needed sooner then later.

Stock is fine. You are not going to gain any hp.
