Descreening and porting the MAF is a hit or miss thing on our cars, some people see gains, some don't. Mine took it well. The fact that your car is an automatic should not have anything to do with seeing gains or not from this mod. Same with the stall converter. You will see big gains with the converter, I think you will be very happy. Alot of people get the SLP 85mm MAF, or a NX MAF kit, so there are alot of people around with spare stock MAFs, I am sure you could buy one for very cheep, and descreen and port it, so you will have your stock one just in case.
