MAF screens???
I have the throttle body and plenum off to put on an adjustable fuel reg.and
a 160 thermostat is it worth the hassle to remove the MAF screens? Has
anyone seen a performance gain?
Thanks

Mine were very easy to remove, just take a utility knife and cut around the outside of the MAF where the plastic end caps are bonded and pop the plastic ring and screens right off.

Hey, since you have the Plenum off, why not slap on a MAT sensor relocation kit too?
It took me about 60 seconds to remove the screens from my MAF. I’d say go for it, easiest mod you’ll make. :D

Whew! What am I doing wrong here? I ran the utility knife around the line where the screens meet the main body of the MAF and it wouldn't come off. :confused:
Shoot, after about 1/2 hour, I even put in a new blade! Just kidding... :smash:
It's weird. I'll try this again later. And with the stock filter, is there a difference in flow? Or should I invest in a K&N?

You run the sharp knife blade around the ring groove for a whiel to cut through the adhesive. Then you may need to take a small flat screw driver blade to carefully pop the end caps loose, dut to some remaining adhesive.

Re: MAF screens??? (rocky5)
I didnt really notice anything but then I also installed an LS1 MAF so... I did notice there was a little difference. The car ran a little rich till the computer got use to it.
