hey guys, i'm new here. looking for advice on cheap tricks and quick tips to get started on building hp. so far i have a fram airhog and cut holes on the base of the airfilter box. works well at high speeds. i heard about cutting the mesh out of my MAF sensor. does this work or will it bring me grief?

 

some people ( including me) have pulled the screen out of their MAF.....and others (most) havent....i personally havent had a problem w/ taking mine out, its been out for 5 yrs......but once u take it out , u cannot put it back in.

use the search button , and typ in MAF you will get a lot of information on it.

welcome to the board.......the people on here are pretty good....real helpful.

Lid = 10-15hp @ $100 ~ish, depending on who you get it from.
Catback = ~ 10-20hp depending on supporting mods and type of catback
P+P'd Throttle body = 5 hp roughly..

LCA's =Less wheel hop and traction
Skipshift eliminator = Less PITA shifting

 

i would just leave the maf alone.

your 2 biggest things are gonna be a lid and an exhaust of some kind. maybe try a cutout if $$ is tight
