Keep the stock Mass air meter and get a MAFT to tune in the power <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

What about MAF ends? Are they worth it if you're still stock displacement?

Just like what everyone else said. Be careful with MAF ends if you have an A4. There are guys running low 11's with the stock MAF and I'd bet there are some in the 10's.
