GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System...
I'm thinking about getting the GMS MAF sensor along with the ZO6 intake box and going to modify the box by cutting more holes in it. The filter will be a K&N. I am wondering if I add the GMS MAF Cold air tuning will this be a good mod?
With the intake, do you think I would gain any extra power with the new MAF as well? :confused:

Re: GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System... (66ImpalaLT1)
Well I would like to hear from some people so I hope they all chime in... :D
On my other truck I wondered the samething people had mixed fillings... On here under the reviews some people posted that they saw a improvment on the dyno... One guy said 19rwhp... Other mods he had could have worked with the GMS MAF though... Hummm...

Re: GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System... (Black_C5)
GMS claims quicker and more accurate electronics and 47% more airflow with their MAF sensor. Combining this with an open intake system is a good mod in my opinion. Check out the GMS website for their claims and proven results.
Also, Donaldson offers a panel filter with open C5 airbox lid combo for around $100 as well. Check it out in their Upfront Technologies website.

Re: GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System... (Black_C5)
Along with other goodies re Ignition and Exhaust, I decided to go with the following Intake Combo :
=> M T I True RamAir System (complete with a new Radiator Shroud, thanks Jayson for this awesome and powerful setup !) = big large low seating Intake, but a high Filter !!
=> K&N Panel Air Filter Element (#33 - 2118)
=> GRANATELLI MS MAFS
=> BPP VORTEX AirBridge with Silicone Coupler
=> ZO6 / LS6 Intake Manifold (thanks Shawn, THE LAPD)
From the beginning, first test runs allowing relearn of the fuel tables, I could feel a neat difference in Throttle response and much much better breathing capabilities. SOTP : increased low-end TQ (second gear, 2'000 - 4'000rpm).
The above mentioned Combo does work excellently so far and I never saw any DTCs.
Absolutely convinced, I would go this parts route again, so I would recommend it without any hesitation. :thumbs:
I am still looking for an ported Throttle Body to finish-up the Intake Section.........may be the "magic word" spells Shaner S2 ? Time will tell......

Re: GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System... (Black_C5)
I would take the $300 the GMS costs and spend it on a good dyno tune! The GMS is not calibrated to your indivual C5 and the dyno tuning will better adjust the fuel flows, timing, and torque managment. I have also heard negative comments on the GMS.

Re: GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System... (Black_C5)
This combination will work well (I have used this) if you get the GMS that is calibrated 5% rich. Don't go this route if you have or are going to do heavy mods like cams/heads, boring/stroking, or power adders. :chevy

Re: GMS MAF Sensor + Intake System... (Black_C5)
A five gabillion mm MAF would really allow more flow, but what is the point if the rest of the intake tract cant :crazy: Save your money, 300$ goes a long way towards other mods. :cheers:
