I did search with not much about it. I'm just going to do the street tune but eventually I will get in dyno tuned but till then what kind of hp gains can I expect with these mods: Brullen Sho-shop ypipe Opti-T.B maf adap/k&n filter w/heatshield And would get a pro-flow maf help if you got that and then tuned with the apexi?

I still do not like the way the Apexi works, as it makes the MAF signal to the EEC "incorrect" and can cause issues w/ the way the eec calculates load in the engine. So basically, I don't think its a good idea, but if you must do it, take the proper steps to get the best results, and don't screw up the EEC function too much. Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
