15-20 rwhp. keep in mind that when you buy dynatechs that you will need to buy the collectors too as they do not come with the headers themselves

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 agree...an aftermarket MAF is a waste of money. the money you'd pay for one could go a long way towards something that would actually have an impact on your power

http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette-3-330-677.html is this the one you are talking about? With this would i need to get a new set up since the diamater is larger?

That is the one I'm talking about.

What do you mean by "new setup"? You just swap the casing onto the actual sensor you already have.

that being said...what are you trying to do with the car that you're worried about the MAF? more power down the road or what?

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.

I was thinking about sending them to advanced induction and getting the 100% CNC'd 190cc Street/Strip LT1 Cylinder Head Package.
