I have never heard that the MAF is REQUIRED from 400whp up!?!

Can you prove this?

Read closer, he said removing it is required. Go MAP in other words.

The new mini-battery kit CAN be used with the stock airbox, btw.

If it were me, I would do what I did do....take the cone and attach it to the stock snorkel, and bam, no more money spent and you're fixed up nice.

I wasn't saying I agreed with what he said, I was just clarifying since you seemed to be confused. Although it probably isn't necessary, I would rather go MAP myself once above that power level. Still it is said that you should move away from stock once above 400hp, but since I am not there yet I will have to take everyone's word for it.

Tpaynes, the MAF is good up to 500-550whp or so. It's not so much power level as it is HZ. At a certain point, it loses resolution, and the ECU can't adjust properly. 400whp is not the cutoff by any means, though. HouseDJ just loves to suggest crazy, off-the-wall mods that are not useful to 95% of us...
