Adam, where did you source your 3" MAF housing, and down it have stock mounting. I was thinking about this for my TN kit. This is a great DSM trick for an extra few hp up top.

I wonder if there's a preferred sequence to these mods? Maybe the 3" MAF doesn't help unless you've all ready got headers, HFC's and cams...
The 3" MAF does seem like a trick piece, though...

....and means nothing without tuning. A larger MAF housing REQUIRES tuning (WOT and part-throttle as well) as it will make the AFR very lean. Not a bolt-in and go mod. Takes time to dial it in. But once dialed in, it's a legit mod. Good for ~8-10WHP on VQ35 maximas with bolt-ons.

Top Secret ITB kit. 6K$ but probably one hell of a mod especially on a NA car.

But, there is absolutely zero info on it, and I know of 0 cars using aside from their own. At $6k, I want a bit more of a known commodity!

The only thing I heard about it is that it completley disables the throttle body(duh) intake tube, air filter, MAF and DBW. It uses a cable setup. I dont get why TS cant get a DBW to work with it when BMW can with their M cars.
