Default wanting to go SD where do i start?

I have auto tap and LS1 edit. I have done all my own tuning so far and car runs good for the most part (still idles rich) I was wondering if you guys could go through the process or point me to some good info, link, articles exc. to get me going. I have a 100MM lid i would love to throw on this year and get rid of my stock ported MAF i just got crushed by a horse i was riding so i will be stuck in a chair for the next few weeks!

You'll Need at least a 2 bar MAP sensor also .

HP tuners forum www.hptuners.com has some good info also.

You only need a 2 bar map sensor if you are boosted.

No, the wideband is a must-have.

Stock is a 1 bar, which means that you are running naturally aspirated (non-boosted). If you are running a turbo or a supercharger, you will need a 2 bar. Otherwise you are fine.

Correct!!!!! well, you can get a 2, or 3 bar depending on how much boost your making

Id say... for starting with SD... where I would start? unplug my maf Get some 3 inch pipe from lowes or something and cut it to length and pop it in there!

car is almost done... the back of the air box lid blew out and i have a small slice in the bellow. I already made a 100mm lid just figured it would be cheaper to toss that on with a pipe from home depot and a SD tune.
