It is not worth taking out the screen for HP gain. If you want HP gain, do an engine mod. Leaving the MAF just like it is would be in your cars best interest. :yesnod:

You should take out the MAF screen. The z06 maf's come from the factory with them removed. As long as you have a good aftermarket intake, keep it nice and clean. You will enjoy an extra 2hp gain :) I do :crazy:

If you are running with the stock air box, leave it alone. I woul dleave it alone if you are not running with a ported TB, aftermaket air bridge, aftermarket intake, and ported heads. If you have all of those, then the MAF becomes the bottle neck.

Actually regarding MAF's, my tuner is doing a write up on his comparison of testing diffrent brand MAF's and the z06 MAF. I will start a new thread when he's done.
