Smile Mass Air Flow Sensor Stock Vs Performance

I have 2005 F150 FX4 5.4L with

Flowmaster Duals
AEM Brute Force Intake
SCT Xcalibrator 2 tuner (on order)

Curious if I need or should get performance Mass Air Flow Sensor?

Unless you are reaching the max airflow for the stock one, I don't see any reason to upgrade.

I believe the performance sensor is smaller than the stock one. Therefore impeding less on the flow of air through the intake. I'm not sure if there would be a noticable difference to justify spending $250-$400.

Suggestions Please
Thanks

An aftermarket MAF can hinder airflow if it is smaller than the inlet tract and throttle body. However, ther are many other (larger) sizes to choose from as well.

As Eric stated (EPNCSU2006), if the stock air meter isn't reaching 5volts, then there is no need to change it.
