Hey man. I believe i met you a few nights ago, at fowler and nebraska. I had the 1G talon. I would recommend checking the basic stuff first such as spark plugs before anything else. Since you said the car breaks up at high RPMs even on the stock BOV. Run down to discount auto and pick up some NGK plugs (BPR7ES part# 2023) if you havent already. Probably wanna look into some new plug wires eventually also. Id still say remove 1 or 2 honeycombs from the MAF, just dont butcher them so that you cant put them back in if you have a problem.
