Default Venom vs. Stinger

Guys:

Does it make any sense at all to switch to the 5-pin style MAF so the Halltech Venom can be used versus the Stinger? (And is that the only difference between the two)? I've read a few posts where the OP claims better throttle response at higher RPM's with the Venom. I'm kind of sold on this intake just based on the ease of installation.

Thanks!

Rossi

The best way to know would be to have both when doing a dyno run. My guess is that there will not be much of a difference. A much better upgrade, IMO, would be to bring in cold air to the filter. This mod could easily prevent your ecu from dialing back horsepower when the engine bay gets toasty. You can accomplish this by either opening up the fog light panels or doing my lower radiator cutout/polycarb scoop/stainless steel screen mod.
