Default little add-ons

i was curios...i have a 2002 z28.my current mods are....stealth intake,lm exhaust,and a body kit(got a good price on that(used)so i couldnt pass it up..looks like the zenon but has no logos on it?)anyhow....i was curious if adding stuff like a zo6 maft or slps iac tricker is worth it in the long run?i plan an building it up either n/a or power adder but will these parts hurt me in the reprogramming or tuning of the car later on?man i have so many ?s its hard to put it in a simple post!i'll wait for a reply though before i get to crazy!!!!!!by the way merry x-mas!!! <img border="0" alt="[Driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

wait on the maf, or get an slp, don't do the air temp module, mine i had sucked. As soon as you get any type of cpu tuning done you will no longer need it, so save the money,

MAF-T is a good tool, once you start changing the basic structure of the combustion process it is more important. Being basically stock you may only get a little out of the MAF-T, but after a lid, intake, ported TB, Z06 maf or Ported MAF and exhaust etc...the MAF-T becomes more of a power adder. Basically the unles syou have LS1-Edit, the MAF-T is an invaluable tool as you can tune the A/F as you build the car. Once you get LS1Edit, you simply unhook and sell it.

For the timing tricker you can do the "free mod" as detailed in I believe installuniversity.com or do a search here or any of the boards. Buying an actually tricker may not be worth it, but a couple dollars on a resistor or whatever is worth it IMO.

Boo Yeah is right though, what your goals for you and your car should known so you can make yourself a mods planner and track your progress. Good-luck.
