Default SLP 85mm mass air flow sensor

I was interested in buying this does this require any program changes
considering my program was redone for the supercharger?
Thanks Jim :smash: :crazy:

I too am interested in this product. Does anyone know if it would be an improvement for a heads/cam car with ls6 intake manifold and vortech intake? It seems like the stock sensor is a bottleneck, does anyone know if this is good for a real hp gain?

I can warn both you guys from direct experience that on my cartech stage II heads and cam car the SLP 85 mm mas air flow sensor made my car run too lean and I lost all my low end torque which really frustrated the sheet out of me. It was not until I richened her up with my MAFT that I got my power off the line back and therefore I would caution both of you that you will have to make other changes to compensate and without a MAFT I definitely wouldn't go there especally for AVETTE, who has a very similar set up to me with cartech and ED WRIGHT, etc. and who I believe does not any more frutstration than he has told us about in the past year or so.

Goodluck and happy Viper Hunting,

I had one of these installed at the same time I did my heads/cam so the PCM program was changed accordingly to make up for the extra air this sensor lets in. My car picked up 7rwhp from the SLP MAF and the BBK T-body. Not sure how much hp from each mod. I am a firm believer in opening up the intake of the engine as much as possible as long as the air is metered properly.
