couldn't have said it better myself
stock maf is good to 300 hp, you will be fine with it .... otherwise you need a tune ....

The MAF is not the bottleneck like Brapple said above. People upgrade MAFs as a means of tuning the car, which imho is a hit or miss when it comes to gains. If you want to have a better flowing intake system look into upgrading to the SVT intake manifolds, heads, throttle body, etc. Like Brapple said before, get a tune instead of an aftermarket MAF.

Which would see more hp or airflow:
Stock MAF with no tune or ProFlow MAF with no tune.
I ask this because my car had a proflow when it came into my possession, but I'm not so sure its still working properly. Would I be better off just putting a stock MAF back on?

Search for this topic, it has been covered over and over again.
I wrote up a detailed MM measurements.
If you own a svt, pro-m is if you can find a good one a good choice IMHO. If you own a regular contour, then don't upgrade a maf. Actually you should half shaft your throttlebody.
A stock maf to me is a restriction on the svts. Because the measurements show that it is smaller in MM then the rest of the intake system. To have a great intake system all the components must be of equal size.

How do you figure that? If the throttle body is 60mm and the stock MAF is 70mm I doubt the MAF is the restriction. I understand that the MAF has the center post but so does the throttle body.
Not to be rude, but i wrote it out. I don't feel like looking it up, since i explained a few times already:shrug:
I sat and put down all the measurements, and scaled out the opening area. The Maf was smaller, not by much, but it was.
Edited-------------------------
The 70mm maf has acutally 53.7mm of space.
Now the 60mm tb for the svt i would assume is around 54-56mm. I haven't had time to map it out and take measurements. But i will after this semester is over.
A real 70mm maf and a half shafted tb would be a great combo. IMHO.

half shafted,w/the back shaft shaved,screws countersunk,casting "hump" removed and the rest of the tb coned or slightly bored. combined w/a better maf would be a nice combo
