A lot of your aftermarket MAFs are very erratic and make the engine run lean unless tuned on the street or dyno its almost impossible to tune one right. If you want to upgrade from your stock MAF, your best bet is to just delete it and run Speed Density. But the stock MAF flows plenty to support 600+ hp

I'll take a stab at it.

Full exhaust, converter, lid, ect. ect..(basically do all bolt-ons and go from there)

Yeah there is no one mod that is really gonna boost the performance,but imo there is no reason to go for a tune at this point,I'm not big on autos but bolt ons and a stall will get you a good start.and imo I would stay with a maf setup
