OK, so I keep reading that you can switch out the stock fuel filter for a z32 one so my question is this..

Do i have to modify anything like getting a walbro fuel pump before switching them out or is it just plug and play?

I know It's a noobish question and I tried searching but I just wanted to verify. thank you

No, you'll need something to calibrate the MAF sensor and ECU like an SAFC or ROM tune. Unless you are going turbo, there is no need to change the MAF sensor.

its just as easy as undo the other filter and install the new 1, i did mine not long ago. the original bracket is even holding mine with surprised me a little but it does. as far as the maf like they say there would be tuning involved.

never heard of using an ls maf. i have heard of using a cobra/lightning maf but it all depends on which management you use. as far the the fuel filter, does it really make any difference at all? i mean im running a freaking chevy 350 filter on my car. a filters a filter

And the Z32 FF is not better than the S13, the reason a lot started using the Z32 FF was it was cheaper than the S13, I'm not sure that's still the case.

And never heard of anyone using an LS1 MAF, Z32/Cobra/Lightning are the only ones that are common and you still need some form of correction to use those (ECU or SAFC/other). I'm using Cobra, but have ECU tuned for it.
