97 cobra mod help

[SIZE=3]Got a 97 Cobra, w/ BBK o/r x-pipe, chokemasters (which I hate), I think a Mac cai elbow (fenderwell) and a SCT w/ custom tune. I ordered a JLT cai and I know it will be an improvement over the Mac. I can get a new FRPP 90mm maf (nib) for a good price will this improve my rwhp, I am at 284 and 285rwtq? Would I need biger injectors to go with the maf. I also have BBK udp to install and MSD coils and wires left over from my 2v. Thanks guys.[/SIZE]

Re: 97 cobra mod help

CAI is a waste of cash, and a 90mm is way too big and may screw with low rpm operation. The stock MAF is usually good up to 450 rwhp. In addition, a MAF is there for measuring air, and a swapping them is done for that reason, not for power.

My suggestion to you would be to get a set of 4.30 gears (the early 4Vs are dogs down low but scream up top) and suspension work (no point in more juice if you can't get it to hook). After that, think about ported heads, hotter cams, and ported intake.
