introduce air after maf ?
what would happen if air was introducted into the intake after the maf ?
let's say the stock air intake was left in place but with the addition of a custom intake bellows. i wonder what it would do if a cold air intake (mounted as high as possible) was introducted into the intake at the bellows ?

Zig, you would have a car that ran poorly, due to the unmetered air being introduced.
I "slipped" a hose off my old f-body once from the throttle body - I think it came off due to being loose and the engine rocking under acceleration but anyways, it ran poorly

oopppss forgot about the map sensor, the computer is gonna compare the two...
