Screw the bolt ons. if I had it to do all over again I would just get a turbo kit and be done with it. It is cheaper in the long run to do it right the first time.

Depends on what you want to spend and how much power and how fast you want to go and still keep driveablity!! Bolt on's are good way to get some decent gains but tend to add up in the end. Stroker motor's in addition to bolt on's are more reliable at times. Turbo's and Supercharger's give you big power gains but can be inconsistent with heat, tuning and reliability. So my advice is this, decide on what you really want to do with your car from the start...you'll probably change your mind along the way but take the first step and hang on after that!! Check the sponser's on this site and other's for part's...do your homework. Good luck and have fun with the build!!

Keep your stock MAF. It's the best MAF you can get. Use that money for something else!
