depending on mods you have prolly the mass air but it wont be that noticeable either. Mod list would help. Roller rockers with help with the valvetrain noise but your not gonna net much if any performance from them without a serious setup.

I've looked into getting ud pulleys previously and dont really want them. its not a all out drag car and for the cost theres gotta be something out there that will benefit the car more without under driving the accs.

Niether and if you put that MAF on you need to get a tuner to calibrate your MAF tables.If you do a MAF just get an Egay truck MAF for like $50.

I agree on the UD pulley....

im getting a tune anyway if my torque converter gets here, but the one you mentioned where can I find it? I dont have an electric water pump so I dont really want to slow that down, as well as my alt and ps, thats why im leaning away from UD pulley. I have far from stock sound system in this thing. its a little insane from a trans am.....

Every one I have seen install the Granatelli MAF has big issues. Avoid it like the plague. Roller rockers on your setup will net you almost nothing, don't spend the money.

looks like i really need to tear down the front end to see if there's any numbers on the cam, then start researchin from there. for the intake though is the fast 102 overkill?

Depends on high you rev it. From your setup though, I would think yes, overkill. Doesn't sound like you're going to be spinning to the moon.

I would stay away from anything that had the name "Granatelli" on it.

well if thats the case, I would spring for the 102, haha. I would think your low end would suffer some, but to ME, I could care less. Yes, my car is a DD, but I only putt around from low RPMs and plan to launch off the limiter once everything is setup.

mines not a DD use to be but then winter came and I needed somethin else, ever since the 2nd car this one gets a whole hell of a lot less drivin........but spendin that much on intake/tb i could spend a little more and get some new heads.....ahhhh the mods......never know what to do.....
