Re: MAF sensor (65Z01)
it helps if youre gonna open up the intake system but without that you still MIGHT get some very small improvements in 1/4 mi times.

Re: MAF sensor (Double Black Vette)
no, we're talking about plenum porting and the runners being opened up

Re: MAF sensor (vader86)
yeah, to see the effects you need to have your intake and heads ported and polished. The air flow will only be as fast as the slowest part of the intake system.. your MAF, airfilter, TB, etc.. .aren't the most restricting.

Re: MAF sensor (Double Black Vette)
If it is an LT1/LT4 engine you will see NO long term gain unless you are maxing out the MAF (only blown cars with high boost will do this). I say long term since the PCM will correct for the lean condition (which is what gives you the extra HP) created by the high flow MAF.
