Mass air sensor

I just put a vararam in my 2003 vert and it works great. Would a Granitelli mass air sensor help and if so how much ? What about a new throttle body and what do you recommend ?

What else do you plan on doing with the car? Personally, and I am sure others will post on this, I wouldn't buy a new MAF and I have been told that upgrading a throttle body is a waste of money for the little hp you get unless you do some seriously modding. Get some used headers.

When you do intake you should do exhaust IE headers, high flow cats and cat back

Then tune.

Will make a world of difference.

Don't waste your money..put it towards headers, hi-flo cats, X-pipe, cat aft exhaust.

Good luck

Get yourself some headers and a Tune. A tune will accomplish exactly the same thing as an aftermarket MAF sensor will. Which is. Cars generally run a bit rich from the factory, the aftermarket sensors send a slightly off reading so your car leans out the mix a tad bit. Which will make a little more power. All that can be done in tuning as well as many additional things.

For a $~1000 set of headers and a tune you could gain quite a bit. I got the LG Pro Street headers, Haltech Stinger intake, and a tune and netted over 30rwhp and 25rwtq on an otherwise completely stock ~100k mile LS1

Money well spent there.
