Default Do i need a 85mm MAF/bellow?...H/C car

How much extra power could i squeeze out of my car(mods in sig)if i throw a 85mm MAF with bellows on.Right now im running a stock maf with the stock bellow with a ported FAST 90/90 and TFS heads,im wondering if im restricting airflow ..Think i can pick up some more....All help is appreciated

With all the mods you have done to the car I would remove the maf and go with a speed density tune. your car will run better on the street and pick up about 10rwhp. you probly won't gain that much from your 85mm maf.

I would definitly run a SD tune but the weather changes here so much im afraid the car would run like **** if i didnt mess with the tuning all the time.How can i tell if a maf is going bad,i have my car basicly tuned twice and nobody can figure out my idle issue(cold starts/idle jumping up and down a few hundred rpms/tap the gas wrong and it wants to die if i dont hold it/ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY...and it dosent happen all the time just on certin occasion which makes me think its the MAF).Is there a certin method on how to check if your MAF is bad?

If you do an 85mm screenless MAF with the Fast Toys 85mm air lid, you would probably see at least 1 MPH in the 1/4.
