honestly it is waste of money just because you will get the same amount of hp from a stock mass air if you just go and tune it. Either way you will never peg a stock mass air with the mods you have.... with the stock mass air and a tune you will see an incredible difference in the way the car runs. you could just sell the mass air and whenever you need a mass air for a bigger engine like a stroker or something then buy a new unit and thats it.

Yea you only need a big MAF if you are planning forced induction. You'll never peg one Naturally Aspirated.

then again the most accurate MAF meter are the blow through units since draw through units ie (lightning) are not very accurate in a turbo or supercharged application you'll need either a new blow through MAF or a MAFIA MAF extender from diablosport. just my 0.2 cents

That's totally incorrect, the size of the MAF has little to do with the power it can support, it's the calibration of the MAF that matters. Obviously if you're going to need a blow thru style MAF the LMAF is a bad choice, however the LMAF is very accurate, reliable and is awesome for getting a consistent tune.

You will NEVER peg one naturally aspirated so you don't need it. Ask any real tuner. I promise. Ed Curtis, Mike Murillo, anyone they'll say save you're money. It does nothing to improve hp its just bigger and is actually a pain in the ass to tune.

Given these are 2v motors the concept is the same.
