Default DOES A 2002 NEED A NEW MASS AIR SENSOR!

My 2002 is at WCC having every bolt on put on now except the mass air flow and the power duct, even though I got the coupler. I only see one company advertising the mass air flow for the 2001 and 2002 and that is granatelli. I know the 2001 and up cars came with a larger mass air. Do I need to get thas well. Also was looking at breathless performance air bridge power duct for over $200. Are these two worth over $500. I'm getting long tubes, exhaust, high flow cats, coupler, blackwing, new computer etc... I would like to know if It would be a bad idea to neglect these things while the cars in the shop.

Thanks,
Mike :confused: :cheers:

The 02 factory cfm's (MAF) are high enough for the mods you are doing. I think the numbers are in the 700 range

Don't bother with any other upgrade other than long tubes. Power and pulling the screen or new MAF is not worth it - for 500+ spend that on TPIS headers. Why are you thinking about a new computer? You don't have the mods that warrant a new computer or reprograming. If you get heads and cam then MAYBE, or I would just have it tuned by a LS1 edit dealer.

You need to read my post. I am already getting the TPIS headers and everything else. The reason I'm getting the computer done is because I want a balanced car. Changing all the parts out that I am, I know the computer will be affected. The hand held jobs are worthless for the stage 11 program that I am getting. I dont want to piece anything together. I want it all done the right way, all at once. I may not get a ton of power from the computer, but at least I'll have the piece of mind to know I've reworked the computer for the mods made. :cheers:
