Default LS7 MAF mounting

I’d like to upgrade to this soon. I did on my G8 and it’s great. Not really any more power, I did it for the basically instant IAT response. That is what I’m after. Anybody have a pic how they installed it? I have a Vararam and would like to keep it. Looks like it would be easier with a different airbridge that has a circle entry and exit instead of an oval like factory. Thanks.

I don't have one installed anymore, but I would just try to find the shortest, most compact housing you can and try to put it before the air bridge. Before TB would probably work too, I think both locations have some pros/cons.

The IAT cal in the tune needs to be changed. The card style is different than the 85mm MAF or the orig push in sensor on 2000 and earlier.

You might already know this.
