If you already have the Superchips Cortex, this would most likely not be compatible. Since custom programming isn't available with the Cortex, there could be dangerous air fuel and timing alteration. It is designed for the stock MAF.

not what I was hoping to hear!!

Power is a function of the physical properties of the hard parts that comprise the drivetrain. Tuning simply allows for making those hard parts run more efficiently. Sensors simply tell the ECU what they are reading. If the ECU has not been adjusted for a change in hardparts, then it cannot react appropriately. If the ECU is fed incorrect information by a bad or changed sensor, then it cannot react safely.
By far, one of the most intelligent things I've read on a board in a long while.

I vote NO. First, you will only gain power from things like MAFS and TB's if the current setup is a bottleneck in the induction PATH. Second, you don't have anything other then bolt on mods where engine performance is concerned. If you had ported head/Intake or upgraded cams, it could be useful with the RIGHT tuning (Not just adding 5% timing or fuel globally...SuperChips or Bullydog) otherwise...it's a waste.

Sort of on topic: Do CAI's change the fuel/air ratio or do they keep it the same? (engine control increases the amount of fuel to compensate for increased air flow)
