No axleback will give you any worthwhile power gains. The Fusion will allow you to keep the valves to remain quiet and/or loud on demand (NPP valves stay).
If you're looking for power, and are happy with the factory NPP (as many of us are), save the cash for more worthwhile mods (like the SC).

Installed the throttle body last week. Did not DYNO my C7 which has a AFE cold air and Diablo tune. . I will say this, since new, my car had a slightly ruff idle for a few min. when cold. Once warmed up, that ruff idle would be gone. The instant I installed the ported throttle body, it ran very smooth. No more ruff idle. Amazing. Seems like the response is also much better. Running up to 6500 RPM, very smooth and very quick. Very happy with it. Install is ultra simple. Four bolts. Remember the connector has a red LOCKING device UNDER it which must be slid back to remove the electrical plug. Cannot see it. Using a mirror will expose it. Just slide it back and the plug will come off. While the throttle body is off , look inside the intake bottom. You will be shocked to see oil puddles at the bottom. I have now installed a catch can to stop that oil. My opinion, oil puddles cannot do my engine any good over time, ever.

As we've discussed previously, you need a tune optimized to your mods for your goal. Instead, you're focusing on the MAF sensor. I cannot help you there, but Tom Kane had mentioned Granatelli makes a MAF sensor. I'm unfamiliar with it, but if you choose to follow this logic, you might reach out to them. They're 5hrs from you as well. I'm still suggesting a tune though for your goal.

Ben my complaint is not with the phadt tune , in fact it gave the most positve results of the 4 bolt on mods i made. Thanks for the Granatelli info but considerng the opinions of there spark plug wire claims i'm not so sure. I think i will try the diablo tune as per Theta's suggestion.
