    hey everyone, i have recently installed a bigger throttle body and a bigger air flow meter, it has a lot better throttle response now but didnt really notice to much power under heavy acceleration. was thinking that the standard air intake isnt letting enough air in??? what are your thoughts on a cold air intake? or should i go roller rockers first??

    1st thing, did you tune it after the MAF and is the car auto? If it's auto, I suggest fitting the stock tb and maf or you will cook the auto.

    Definately go for Roller rockers and a cai at the same time but either one will help performance alot more than a bigger tb and maf.

    Yeah the tune will need to remap the maf table and tps inputs. Both of these values are used to shift the electronic auto and may also affect line pressure too, not sure on that one.
