Probably 12-15hp MAX not sure about track gains maybe one tenth. I would not mess with the MAF

Don't port the MAF... Get the 85mm MAF from SLP, and port the TB= 30 hp

[EDIT] w/Cold Air kit & Lid...

I think 30 hp is a bit too high of an est.

Doh! I forgot to look at his mods, and 30 was for the whole CAI, Lid, 85mm MAF, and ported TB pkg. ...premature epost-ulation...

cant you port the maf ends for a slight gain. Id say a ported TB and MAF ends might net you 8-10 hp
