cold air intake

I want to make a cold air intake for my 00' C5 and I was wondering if the location of the MAF makes any difference. I know it sounds like a dumb question but I'm a long time deisel guy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think the placement is that critical, Callaway relocates it to the TB with their CAI...

The Vararam power duct also relocates it.

Dynomometer testing has verified a 4 to 5 hp increase by relocating the MAF to right in front of the throttlebody on LS1 and LS6 engines.

I did a home made system and relocated my MAF, the thread link is below if you want to look at what I did. I'm very happy with mine, runs great and no codes at all!

Thanks for all the info, I will post pics when it's done. It's currently on jack stands in the garage due to a incounter with a curb (broken knuckle,cracked rim) thanks to an idiot with a hemi challenger that couldn't control his ride. Parts are on order, thanks to Craiglist I saved $600 for a rim versus Dealership!
