I just bought an AIRAID CAI, an AIRAID throttle body spacer, and a JET mass air flow sensor......did I waste my money? What kind of significant changes will I notice if I install this stuff?

I have a K&N cold air intake and a jet mass aif flow sensor on my 01 yukon 5.3L.. great combo, more power, faster throttle responce and gained 5mpg. i know with my cold air intake i cant fit a throttle body spacer on, my intake could be in my cooling fan then.

Send the throttle body spacer and the MAF back, waste of money and can actually cause more harm than good by running your engine lean.

Okay....I did some research and returned the MAF sensor and the TB spacer. Then, I exchanged the AIRAID kit for just the AIRAID tube and bought a K&N filter. I can use the stock airbox, right? Feedback??? What's next?

Get a tune from Blackbear and you will be VERY pleased. I love mine. I have used a few diff brands and tuners in the past years, BB has def been the best in my opinion.

The MAF does, the TBs does nothing on these newer engines, they were the rage for carbs.
