Default LS1 VS LS6 MAF? worth it?

Changing cams again, have an LS6 MAF available, heard I can make a few HP gain over my LS1 MAF....both are '02 yr btw.....anybody have any solid results? What's the size of a stock LS6 MAF compared to an LS1? Saw a before and after dyno chart by a good tuner showing a 10 HP gain going to an 85 MM MAF.......

Is your car an 02? If so it already has an 85mm MAF. The only diff is no screen in the LS6 unit.
GM calibrated the software for the LS6 to accomodate the lack of the screen.

10hp, I doubt it.
