Basic intake mods - newbie questions
Just starting with the mods (heaven help me to make it stop):D , and have a few VERY basic questions. Only thing I have done for the engine was a blackwing.
Is it worth the money/performance to go with any of the following:
- throttle by-pass
- new MAF with sensor (if so which one)
- power duct
- Ported & Flowed Throttle Body
- 170 thermostat
Already have plans (greatly influenced by the members of this forum) for new exhaust (GHL) , FLP headers and eventually heads and cam from CarteK.
thanks

Throttle body Bypass, $10-$19 = 0-1 RWHP, you make the choice. :smash:
Airbridge, really only if you want a fancy looking one as the HP increase is non existant.

TB bypass...Not worth it
New MAF...Maybe-I have a SLP Maf not sure if theres much of a diff. You could just remove the screen off your maf ends
Poweduct...does look nice and will gain some HP-Not much
Ported TB...Not worth it
Lower Temp Therm...Good mod-need some sort of programming or switch to take advantage of it
