Default mass airflow sensor

Okay I've read all the negative thing about the Granatelli mass air flow. Has anyone tried the SLP mass air flow? Is this another dud!

Good point. I've heard only bad things about the granatelli, but never heard anything about other maf sensors.

A guy came in the shop in an fbody with an slp and it was reaking havoc with the entire deal--put a modified stock on and the probs disappeared, this is the only time encountered so I don't want it to sould like I am flaming anyone-but I had the gran on mine 3 years ago and the stock unit with modified ends worked considerably better, use a modified stocker and save yourself some grief and money and HP-

what's the deal are the only thing that these company's are messin g around with is bumpin the is timing! And then trying to sell us a modified mass air flow sensor!Well I say screw them! I dont' see any performance gain, it's sort of like when Motion performance was selling 396's as 427's. Nobody can really say what the gain is with the mass air flow ,sensor is! How about us Vette guys stickin togehter!

I think if your just a stocker, you may see something out of it, if you had it tuned, the additional timing curve on the Granatelli will be a wash
I have a brand new in the box Granatelli MAF set up for a cold air system. If my set up it wont help, and I paid $350 plus shipping from Corvette Central.
Im selling it for $300.00 shipped. Brand new. It's still taped in bubble wrap in the original box. IM me for details
If you do some research, you pay about $100.00 per each HP on most applications. it doesnt matter if it's a cam, headers, heads, etc. :steering:

Stock zo6 if carburated would only need a 650cfm carburator to produce the same numbers. Cubic inches, max rpm, and volumetric efficiency there is no reason to go any larger cfm .

I took the "honeycomb" screen out of my stock MAF to increase airflow. Still runs! LOL :D
