How much will i gain?
How much will i gain? i have a 2000 WS6 A4 basically stock was wondering how much HP i would gain by adding a SLP lid (yes i know they are good for 7-10 hp) and descreening my stock MAF could i gain 15 at the wheels or is the descreen one of those 2-3 hp mods?
thing is with the lid you will also buy a K&N filter, they will no give you anything on the dyno or hardly any, the iterstate is where you will see the dif. and descreening the MAF is same thing all on top end is whre you will se a dif.
ok what you would gain by adding lid, k&n, descreening your maf, cutting out the plastic beneath your air filter, tb by-pass, and making sure your tb opens 100%. I would say a good 15-20 hp total.

There have been articles in gmhtp when they dyno tested just lids on the same car by itself varied between different makers 8-13hp.

Verdad Gallardo Im just goin to add ripping out the screen on the maf is not a good idea the screen is to allow the maf to obtain a more accurate reading unless you plan on goin for all out power and plan on having the car tuned afterwards I would recommend leaving it in.
Ripping it out on a stock car is a hit or miss some cars react to it good and some react to it with poor idling, stumbling.

ok, i just looked under my hood, when i took off the filter, i saw the plastic bar that goes across the middle that you said to cut, but how much do i cut, do i cut both the plastic piece that comes out and the one that is in place or what, cuz it doesnt look real easy to cut the one thats in place on the bottom
I have popped I dont know how many screens out of MAFs in parking lots without an issue so I wouldnt sweat it as long as you stay away from the cross bar thats in center. If you dont see the radiator and AC condensor when you take the air filter out then you have more cutting to do
