From Doug Rippe Website!
True or False (Opinions welcomed)
New Mass Air Flow Sensor for the LS1 offers increased horsepower and increased flow. Simple installation installs quickly in under 30 minutes. Adds 10 to 15 horsepower at the rear wheels with up to a 45% flow capacity. The unit is a direct replacement for 1997 through 2004 LS1 Corvettes and Camaros. No adverse effects on fuel economy or drivability. Polyethylene injected shell for durability and minimal heat transfer

Hard to believe. Would have to see some independent testing done before I could agree with this.

It depends.
Every engine is an air pump. If you put it on a stocker, then the answer is false because the MAS is not where the point of greatest resistance is. However, if you put it on a car with headers, a free-flowing exhaust system, a modified air intake, a "FAST" intake manifold, some modified heads and a new camshaft, it probably WOULD deliver that sort of increase because that would be the "choke point" in the system.

I had a Granatelli on my stock '01 Firehawk after reading this in some magazine (Modern Musclecar, Car Craft, something) and I didn't really feel any gains. Kind of like K&N stating "up to 20 hp"...on a Corsica. I agree with Jackalope's .02 cents.
