Vararam airbridge
Vararam has a new airbridge for C5's that's made to allow for moving the MAF to in front of the TB. What was interesting is that the 100mm MAF butts right up to the airbridge and has the same size opening, whereas the other bridges I've used had openings smaller than the 100mm's. You can also heat the end of the bridge and insert the MAF, which is what I ended up doing. It fits really well in a C5 with the LS7 engine.
It idles smoother and feels more responsive. Patrick at Vararam says it will improve times by a tenth. We shall see!
If it doesn't it still looks good and for certain idles better.

gojo,
Thank you very much. I just posted on LS1TECH that I wasn't going to do anything about the MAF and just let it be @ 570 rwhp. Now you have me ready to do it after all. You can paypal me the 300.00+ dollars you just convinced me to spend. LOL
Seriously though, THANKS.

fwiw: my dyno after the 100mm

My track times and MPH seem to indicate more power than the dyno shows.
