NA Build Inside....Soup to Nuts :)
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.

direct replacement...but def needs tuning to make it work

We got to the low 290's on the stock housing and then said, what the hell, let's toss it in and see what happens.....nice gains in mid range torque, though I can't tell you if we could have achieved those goals with the stock housing or not.

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.

That's why I did it over time, not all at once

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.
