Default $470 for a CAI/MAF system

I just priced it all out for the cheapest way to build a GOOD cold air intake and MAF system. My MAF is shot so upgrading to an LS1 MAF would be a good idea at this time.

Translator: $180

Do I have to change/upgrade my chip to use a Translator????

LS1 MAF 3.5": $80

Big Mouth Kit w/ Filter: $150

3.5" MAF Pipe: $60

Total: $470

Also, I could order a Shorty Style Big Mouth Kit for $125 but this option is only $85 cheaper than the above mentioned Cold Air Intake system. I would think that the cold air benefit would be worth the extra cost... Does anyone have any input or do you have another option for me?

no you can use your existing chip.
I would opt for the Translator plus
As far as a CAI, i just run my K&N off my LT1 maf.
