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.

I I too was talking about the crap C&L people that have put that on yes have made power but also have seen ait fuel ratios in the 14-1 and higher range that is to lean
if you look at the fastest mod motor n/a racers most do not have a maf(or the c&L) they have the stock one
pullies do not void the warrenty any fastest then a chip if there is ever a problem with the motor they will check the ecu and yes even if you take the chip out they can tell it has had one in there
UNDER LAW THEY CAN NOT VOID A WARRENTY UNLESS THE PART PROVES TO BE THE ONE CAUSES THE PROBLEM yes they will try but it is againest the law and yes you would win
and pullies would take about 20min to take off and they could never tell they were there
he already has a k&n there is no need at his level to get a bigger one the factory replacment k&N flow more the enough air to support over 300hp
I agree about the chip but the only way to reburn a chip properly is on a dyno having it dyno tuned otherwise you will never know if its running to lean and if you really made power of lost it and yes you can lose power from a chip
