Your comments about the chip are true and not true. A chip should be the last thing that you do, but most people take years to modify a car. For basic bolt on mods, a chip to advance timing is perfect and you will get decent hp gains. There is absolutely no reason to wait for a chip unless you are planning bigger things in the near future.

My diablo chip can be upgraded for under $100 whenever I want with a custom program. That way the chip can grow with you if you venture into major things.

I sort of assumed by the original post that he was looking to do a few mods for under a $1000 and that would be it for a while.

Also, I never said to change the MAF, I suggested an "MAF Kit" from C&L. This kit uses the stock MAF meter electronics. It is their version of "Cold Air" Induction and includes the tried and true K&N filter, enlarged plumbing, and shield. My mention of MAF was probably missleading and I should have just said "Cold Air Kit" in general. I personally think that C&L makes one of the better ones.

I did not mention pullies, because they void warrenties. I assumed that with a 2002 he wanted to keep his factory warrenty.
