    So the car is throwing one code the P0102 MAF Code, now I am going to go through the diagnostics of checking & cleaning first. However, if those fail I want to make sure I direct my spend effectively. Options I have read a little bit about:

    Keep in mind goal of 105-110MPH traps or thereabouts:

    Replace stock MAF - eventually bore out TB
    Northstar TB kit - uses different MAF
    ZZP HV TB - still need stock MAF though
    LS1 swap - seemed more complicated than others?

    I guess it comes down to whether or not I need a larger TB to meet my goals?

    Looking for opinions on the most effective road, should the MAF need replacing.

    As of now a larger TB will only hurt you more than help you...just put a stock MAF in your current TB and wait until you've got all your ducks in a row before upgrading TB's.

    A different tb ir maf will cost alot as you will need the car tuned for the different maf, unless you already have a tuner.
