are the maf and tb worth the money

Hmmm. Ya wanna see hostility about a chip get me started about Apten!!!!!

The chip is definately the best bang for the buck!!!! If you plan to continue your performance building with this vehicle, I would recommend having a local "speed shop" do the custom programming for you rather than mail order. Call around, there are a lot more places than I expected that are capable of tuning a chip to your specifications. Wish I had known that Pre-Apten.

i think im gonna get a 70mm maf

but if you guys can think of any other mods for the around the same price that add more power let me know soon!
 






Chip, chip and uh .. chip. Why start this thread asking for advice, getting only negative reviews of the MAF, then saying you want it? :confused:

Well if your set on a new MAF, at least get the Chrome Pro-M, just looking at gives you some jollies :D

Brings back long forgotten memorys Husky of when I married my first wife :D
 






i cant get the chip for christmas, so i need something else that will give me some power?
 






Electric fan would be better than the MAF. I'm actually contemplating getting rid of my MAF.
 






do you think it would add anything?

Okay, just for the holiday season, get on down to the local speed shop, buy 3 five gallon cans of racing gas( make sure you get un-leaded) and have at it.
Be carefull, always wear a condom when going up against ricers :confused:

Yes. Yes they work great.

ok the guy who said this must sell them or something, does anyone here really gotten power out of those things. the way that it works is it plugs into the iat from what i understand and tells the pcm that the temp is like -100 out. so i would think that you might get some power out of it while your in open loop but the pcm doesn't even use the iat in closed loop! so ehat difference does it make now. there is one time at wot it uses the iat but who wants to go around driving full throttle all the time
 






Pretty sure Chopin is a dealer,I think, you could P.M him:)
 






Yes Choppin is a dealer. I bought my IAT chip from him. I didn't feel a change but he assured me it's there.
 






Get one of those big aluminum wings. Those add 69 horsepower.
 






LOL y'all are funny :rolleyes:


95offroadx:
just get the throttle body or an open air intake

But really trust us get the Throttle Body!!!!

I have around a $1000 into my engine. Only one thing really made me go wow, was simple, and had no downsides.

Go figure it was one of the cheapest things. The T-Body at 200 dollars
 






I sent for the thing off of Ebay. I hadn't noticed that it required premium fuel. At WOT, with 20 cents more per gallon, it may be helpful. But not when I want to run regular gas.

A better air inlet system would be good. If you have high mileage, you might consider O2 sensors, or slightly larger tailpipes and mufflers. Good luck,

Yes I am a dealer.

I have 3 resistors on mine and they work great. Caught on fire a few times, but it's all good. Just keep an extinguisher with you and you should be good.
