waste of cash. I had a 70mm FRPP one and glad I got it for only 60$ used. The factory throttle body will flow enough.

a larger MAF would be nice, but would require proper calibration. The key is getting a good one, not that C&L or Pro-M crap, but a larger Ford MAF, such as a Lightning or 02-04 GT MAF, as the sensor electronics are more accurate and really aid in driveability, helping to eliminate flat spots in the power band and will help fine tune the A/F curve.

i wouldnt bother. you can only cram as much air intake the manifold as it can flow.

On a stock motor its worth about 5 - 7 hp. So if its worth it then get it. Along with the larger MAF. You have a CAI and a tuner right? I plan on getting one for mine.
