Somebody either needs to set this guy straight or ban him as a troll.

There is a recent thread on MAFs look back just a couple days.

Basically aftermarket is bad news.

I think the stock will support somewhere up to 450hp, no need to get an aftermarket only trouble IMO!!

Not trying to pick on you, but if its still in the box how would you know you would feel a difference from it?

There was also a thread about de-screening, and someone actually had tested the difference and it wasn't that much. And if for some reason a fairly large fragment passes through and or breaks off of your air filter, it'll get caught.

BTW, I have some stock style Crane hardened push-rods new in box never used for sale, $80! They'll add about 75hp, the box doesn't say it, but my gut just tells me they will...
