Default Gains large MAF and large lid?

So I have a 96/96 and was wondering how much gain is typical if you go to the large MAF's and lids? Whats the hot combo?

i'm interested as well.

i'd like to do a apples-to-apples comparison when i get the money.

planning a 100mm lid and then the truck maf....do a few runs to confirm A/F...swap the parts and retune for the maf...then a few more runs.

if i get really crazy i want to do it with and without heads....really depends on if the shop wants to deal with the hassle.

We've done some testing and also had lots of customers report back.

When switching from a a stock outlet sized aftermarket lid with a stock MAF to an 85mm decreened MAF and 98mm air lid, we saw .9 MPH increase in the 1/4 mile on the same day.

That was a car with a mid cam, no head work and all the usual bolt ons.

We've had a # of customers with head/cam/stroker motors report 1.2-1.3 MPH increases.
