Default 99Trans am need help A.S.A.P

So long story short I was in a motorcycle accident spent almost 2 years getting surgery’s and healing up so I have not been able to even mess with my car

before the surgery’s started going I finished up the H/C/I swap but never got the car tuned or drove it now I’m in the garage cleaning up the car and getting ready to ship it over to the tuner and I need to order a bellow to link the maf to the TB how do you guys have yours set up? I have a 92mm TB and 85mm maf

Also while I’m thinking about it should I upgrade the MAF before I send it off to get tuned?

The stock accordion bellow will work with the 85mm MAF and 92mm TB. If you have the 85mm MAF, that is already an upgrade over stock.

WS6Store has a very nice coupler set up for that. I can't recall the part numbers but they are just a phone call away and very helpful.

BTW - if you want the 100mm MAF & coupler set up WS6STORE can also provide those parts as well.

another option if your tuner is familiar with it is to go speed density tuned and have no maf .

I've herd good things and bad things about Speed Density and from some of the things I've herd was that it was not a good option if you live some where that the weather drastically changes from hot to cold and I am in Michigan so I end up driving my car from March till like the end of October and during those times it can go from 35 degrees to 90+ degrees lol

I drive my procharged formula in 25 degree mornings to 95 degree humid days here in upstate ny. Early may some years till right when the snow flies. I don't have any issues. But if your tuner isn't confidant then it's not for you.

I was just throwing that out there.
