Default Stock MAF question

So I had a bad miss problem and after replacing alll the O2 sensors and converters the dealer finally found out the problem was the MAF. My car is basically stock with a lid and catback so my question is what do I do now just replace it with a stock one or is now a good time to upgrade for future mods? I have read alot of the threads in here but nothin really answered my question...thanks for any help

there is absolutely no need to upgrade the MAF at your level. just get a stocker.

One thing you might want to look at before you buy a new one. I had basically the same problem on my car once and when I discovered it was the MAF I changed it but still had the problem. After a lot of head scratching I discovered that the sensor wire pin on the male plug on the car's wiring harness had gotten bent over time and wasn't getting a good connection. I bent the pin back over and put the original MAF back in and it worked fine. You might want to check that out before spending the money on a new one.
