maf or throttle body

[willys5555]

I have been looking around but I guess I am just a newbie but could I get bigger maf or throttle body or something to give it more power? I am planning on getting a Mac intake but i want to do more research on what else i can do to get more power. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Once again-
headers first.

Here's a mass air flow sensor from summit

and here's a throttle body from them also

They're both kind of pricey though.

yea i have been looking at headers but they seem like they would be difficult to put in. but i am not sure. how much horse power do they add? Thanks for the help.

 

[willys5555]

oh, and does anyone know how much more horse power you get from a bigger maf? and how much better gas mileage. Thanks again for all of your help.

what motor do you have ?

I have the larger TB and MAS with a PRO-M meter, on my 4.0 SOHC the two together provided less than stellar results considering the significant investment.


BTW dont call people names. Just ignore the post.
Thanks.

 

[willys5555]

mine is a V8 5.0L engine.

and i didnt call names. i called the response a name. but yea i am sorry about that. Sort of makes me upset when i ask a question and people respond with "search."

But anyway. Thanks for all of your help.

Willy the reason I responded that way is because the question is asked 10 times a day, plus you said you searched with little result.

When I used the search feature I came up with:

Says just how much of an improvement was seen with a C&L Maf.

Here's a list of what one guy did to get his 4.0 SOHC seeing very good gas milage and power, gives an idea of what to expect:

Aldive is ridiculously thorough and has listed everything he did to his truck to get it just over 200hp I believe. Not to mention 30+ mpgs.

There are a number of intakes, there are throttle bodies, headers, exhausts premade and custom, mufflers, gears, tuning, spark plugs and wires, all kinds of stuff you can do that has been covered already on the site.

alright. I just get frusterated with the search on this site. i search stuff and nothing seems to come up. But thanks for your help.

ok well i have been reading all of this and doing my own research but seem to be a little confused. When i buy maf, all i need to do is install it? just that simple? I have read that these are for trucks with tuners. What does this mean? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

thanks. just trying to be active on the site.

Honestly-
Torquemonster headers are the best mod-
here's why.
The stock exhaust manifolds are very restrictive.
Also-every mod in the future will work WITH the headers for even greater performance improvements.

Your exhaust is already overloaded with the size of your present Maf and throttle body.

If you go with a C & L, you will retain your stock electronics. Just install and go.

Good luck ....

 

[willys5555]

thanks for you help. I already have an aftermarket exhaust. i have dual glasspacks. but the headers seem so hard to put on. i am not sure if i am ready to take on a project that big yet.

ok so i just plug and go with the maf? wow. well i guess that seems to be too easy. things seem to usually be difficult. well thanks anyway.

MAF is plug and play.

That said tuners are worth their weight in gold.
Tuners are best done last in line however. You have the exhaust, get the MAF a TB if you wish and an intake.

Get the tune based on all that.
