I saw an article on http://www.LS1howto.com about this swap.

I know the 2001 MAF is flowed a little different, and that the MAF wires & IAT sensor is built in.

My question is WHY do this?

I think I have problems with my MAF wire harness connector & the IAT wire harness connector, so I WAS going to buy aftermarket harness connectors, but then saw this article..

Anyone do this or can tell me why to do it?

Thanks, Ellis

I switched to the Pace Performance Recalibrated MAF and adapter cable on my '98. Why? Because I bracket race and I got tired of the IAT sensor picking up heat from the radiator and engine compartment even after I relocated it up front. I monitor the incoming air temp AND the IAT and the temps are within a degree or two now. They used to differ by 10 degrees at best from residual heat and 5 degrees even when driving on the freeway with constant airflow.

BTW this new MAF is working very well for me. I monitor the car with EFILive whenever I drive the car and have seen no problems. I am also using LS1edit to tune the car myself based on my goals.

Thanks for the reply..

Just ordered it! Talked to my LS-1 Edit guy & Patrick at Vararam, and it seems this is definitely the way to go!

:cheers: I strongly suggest that you start using a scanner (I use AutoTap end EFILive) to make sure everything is :cool: There is always the possibility that you may have to make tweeks in the setup to get the best performance and having good data is critical :thumbs:

"The 2001+ style MAF meters are between 1/4" and 1/2" larger in inner diameter, which should translate to a little more flow once your engine is modded down the road. "

that's why. There won't be as much gain unless the upgrade is a part of a "system"; such as with a LS6 (or aftermarket) intake .

It's a good article, but this really seems like a hassle for what will likely amount to zero hp difference.
