When yours pegs out, you getting tuned at a dyno or with joe?
He would be able to tell. Do you have the 1.7 or 2.1kb. I pegged with the 2.1 at 9psi (was on the line). When boost was upped it was pegged.
If you have a 1.7 and only running 9 or 10 psi you should be fine. I would dyno it then if maf is needed get it.

Once you get around 400 rwhp you get near it limits.

I would go with a bigger maf, like a 90mm LMaf, or a BA2400. The stock maf will be a restriction and any intake restriction on a PD blower will cost HP. Depending on your intake configuration, the stock maf may be pegged at 9psi.

you have to move the extra volume of air when you go bigger. i am running a c&l MAF and love it. it is stock size for my app, i dont have the need for a anything larger.

I maxed out my stock MAF around 350-360 rwhp. I have heard that is fairly normal.

They aren't too expensive, Id switch it out anyway. That way you are covered and it will definitely not cost you any HP to get a bigger one.
