Default Would a ported TB and MAF help my #'s?

Based on my sig is it worth it for me to invest in a ported TB and a larger MAF or MAF ends. I realize that these are not going to give huge gains but are the gains worth the $. Thanks.

A pulley is a pulley is a pulley, IMO. Kind of like the lid thing.

I have an ASP on the way, but I know SLP has some newfangled marketing underdrive pulley. Like a deeper valley or something to prevent the belt from getting thrown.

Don't lay a single dickbeater on the MAF. TB and pulley should be good for 15-18rwhp easily.

Who did the tune?

I did a dyno test to prove the MAF porting thing. With a normal, untouched MAF, I put 330 to the ground. Then I put a ported MAF and put down about 280. I'll stick with my factory one, please
