If you change out the MAF to a larger MAF you will need to have it tuned. The computer uses the MAF and the front O2s to determine how much fuel to give the motor, if the MAF gets changed it has to be tuned almost immediately or it will run terribly.

With a larger MAF we look to pick up anywhere between 5-8 rwhp realistically.

MAF sensor is not a mod I would worry about at your level. I agree with ULTIMATEORANGESS, you should be looking at headers before an MAF.
