No worries about the questions, we're getting pretty good at answering the common ones quick!
An aftermarket MAF is a waste of money. If you want to do something with your MAF check out Mid America Motorworks LT1 Corvette section. They have a new MAF housing that has a larger diameter and it's only $50 or so. It gets you a legitamate gain of HP (dyno tested by Corvette Magazine got 7 RWHP and 9 RWTQ) and it doesn't cost $300. The actual sensor isn't any different, espcially once the computer figures out that the aftermarket "hot" sensor is just trying to trick it.

I dont wanna get real crazy with HP just want like 400 or so. I dont know much about upgradeing and read something about MAF would add HP. I think i am going to start with headers and maybe a port and polish. Where do you think i will be after that? Also how hard is it to remove the head and put it back on after the port and polish? Would this be all i need to do or would i need to get a TB or something else?
thanks

400 at the wheels or 400 at the crank?
Upgrading the MAF will add a little HP, but nothing substantial. If you get the heads ported and polished it all depends on who you have do it etc. Removing and reinstalling the heads depends on how much experience you have working on cars. If you don't work on your own cars you'll probably find it very tough. If you have experience working on things yourself it won't be too bad, but it's reasonably in depth.
