Loose that restrictive stock MAF meter (56mm) on a tight budget.....Go to your local junkyard and get a 73mm MAF meter from a 3.8 cougar or t-bird. they are easy to spot the sides are not dimpled like the stock 5.0's. And for even better flow cut the center bar out and file smooth. Drill out the sensor tube to 15/32" and use your stock electronics. You will have 85mm going in and 73mm out. I bought them for about $20.00 and about 20 minutes of cutting filing and drilling. Stock look with performance feel at a fraction of the cost.
