Default Map relocating kit is it worth it?

Hey guys I have been thinking about this for awhile and is it worth it? If so can you tell any diff. in the idle or engine performance? It is one of those things if it anit broke dont mess with it type things. Thanks

For your '95? If so, consider that the MAP is really there as backup to the MAF. The MAP could really be loaced anywhere as long as it has a good vacuum line to the intake. Where the MAP is located won't affect performance in either a good or bad way.

Did you mistake MAP for IAT possibly? If so, then the IAT needs to be right where it is. The proper way to get the computer to change the A/F ratio is to reprogam it not to lie to it with false data. IAT relocation is listed in the "Performance Mods that don't Work" section of the FAQ.
