MAF opinion of what i should buy My '00 ss is bone stock besides a k&n.. and my mass air is in need of repacing. I eventually plan on modding my car w/ all the usual bolt ons and a cam.
Only thing is, I HATE spending money on stock parts on a car like this. Yes it will fix the problem, but would it be better to go ahead and get an SLP mass air? or an 85mm from a c5 Z or escalade?
Ive had plenty of fbodys and mustangs but have never messed with changing the mass air cuz i knew they had to work with your injectors and require a tune.
So i guess the question is... will an SLP maf or zo6 mass air screw up the way my car runs right now with just a quick bolt on installation? or will it need some kind of tuning?? and will i see a power gain AT ALL???
will it be good to have now for future mods?

You can usually find a used stocker for pretty cheap. The stock unit will support 500hp without a problem. If you upgrade to an 85mm you WILL need tuning. Being that your car is still stock you prolly wont see any power gains. maybe a tad better throttle response but that would be about it until you start modding more. I have a stock unit that hasnt even been descreened if your interested. It was pulled from a stock 99 fbody in good working order. PM me if so.
