95 MAF Screen Removal Question
I've heard from many different sources that you could remove the screen inside the mass air flow housing to gain horsepower but just yesterday read somewhere that on certain LT1's, (94,95 I think) that it would throw a reading off and the check engine light would come on. I was just curious if anybody has actually done it on theres and what the result was. Help is appreciated!

I've read that it works on the L98 but not a good idea for an LT1/LT4. You actually loose power by removing the screen due to the MAF being out of calibration. In theory you should gain, but I've heard the opposite. I would love to hear from someone who tested it on a dyno.

Re: 95 MAF Screen Removal Question (95_6spdvette)
i removed mine in my '95. the screen has been out for 5 months or so and no problems whatsoever. ran a 13.6 bone stock, since then i've cut the airbox and removed the MAF screen. my 1/8 mile run during that 13.6 was 8.8@82, and after the cut airbox and removed screen, i ran the 1/8 in a 95+ weather and pulled 8.8@80 with a worse 60'. So i think i gained power, but the heat killed my mph.

I have a ported MAF housing and no screen. No problems yet. Ditto with the Mustangs I've had.
However, Vette92 always has good advice, lots of experience, and knows what he's talking about.
