MAF electronics question
I just received my Zip Corvettes C6 catalog. On page 18 they show an aftermarket MAF sensor that claims to flow more air than the stock version, etc. the part I found most interesting was, "..while state-of-the-art electronics offer improvements to ignition and injector timing both."
this leads me to wonder, if the MAF sensor electronics plays such a part in 'ignition' and 'injector timing' and it has also been said that the C5 Z06 is the same as the C6 (base/non Z06) version. Does anyone know if the electronics are the same in both mafs, c5 z and c6, or does one version have 'improved' settings. would using the c5 z06 maf on the c6 result in performance improvements.

Aftermarket MAF's are POS's. They are the single biggest waste of money you can purchase.
