I'm pretty sure the CA, SR, and KAE MAF all flow about the same... 230-240whp. I could be wrong though.

240hp is about the limit on the stock injectors. Any more than that and the injectors are up over 90% duty cycle which is not safe.

I just got my DSM 450s today... I sold my 370s for $60 and bought my 450s for $30. I MADE money by upgrading Oh, and I got my injectors from a '97 GS-T...not the older blue top style. The 2G's have a different pintle that creates a better spray pattern.

FYI, I have a Maxima MAF w/plug I'll sell you for $50 shipped if you want it. Good for 300-310hp. Same size dimension wise as the Z32 with the same plug.
