MAF or Throttle body?? Well my cars got the basic intake lid and exhuast.. now i wana move on to the next step.. i was thinkin a after market MAF or a throttle body. Or should i go with something else? i don't wana do headers yet.. and im not to sure about those hypertechs.. I also don't wana take the moto apart.. so what would be a better buy? the Throttle body or a MAF?? i've heard that the Throttle body can be up to 10 rwhp increase over stock? but how much can the MAF boost? if any?
Thanx for n e replys.

I personally would some ported MAF ends and a ported throttle body from Shaner, jantzer, or thunder racing. combined those two things will get you about 15 rwhp and much better throttle response for around $250.
