Sorry, I don't agree that the MAF should be the first mod.

Stock SHOs were highway cruisers; their strong suit was passing on the
interstate.  They had poor launch, barely acceptable handling, and marginal
brakes.  IMHO the Gen1 SHOs were enthusiast cars, the rest were all built
for feel-good on the freeway.  So again IMHO the first mod for most SHOs
would be 26mm rear bar.  Unless you have a Gen1, in which case the first mod
would be brakes.

Once we've corrected the worst of the handling/braking issues, we can look
to performance.  Conventional wisdom says the first more-power mod is the
Y-pipe.

Sorry, Gary, maybe I'm misreading you, but IMHO the MAF is a bit down on the
priority list.

p.s. Gary, in case you don't know me, I have two SHOs.  The Gen2 is highly
modded for track days, the Gen1 is lightly modded for autocross.

No, this isn't my first mod, and I would agree with you that the MAF should
not be the first mod.
