Default 2005 Bonneville GXP Performance Options

Has anyone heard of any after market air flow improvements for the norstar v8.Such as a KN filter or others that are'nt oil coated that improve performance and milige.I'm a little worried about MAF sensor.

K&N filters DO NOT harm the MAF

Yea, the K&N will be fine. Unfortunately, that'* really the only thing available performance wise for the GXP.

they'll hurt it if you oil it to much....id keep a paper filter incase you need to bring it to the dealer, if you have MAF problems they'll try to deny it because of the filter
