They told me to use my existing air sensor with the install. Why would you want to replace it ?

Default Don't waste your money!!!

Granatelli mass air flow sensors are snake oil. They do nothing but make your wallet lighter. There are no power gains to be made. Your factory mass air flow sensor is just fine and up to the task of making any amount of HP you may want. He also claims his spark plug wires make
12-15 HP. From wires??? People who make claims like that need to put there crack pipes down. there delusional!!!

I don't like to bash peoples products, but I dislike more people trying to ripoff people who are just trying to improve there performance and are still learning about the game. Sometimes you're at the mercy of what you read. I've been moddifying these motors since 1999 and have learned alot some good and some not so good. I have a stock 90mm mass and with my other mods Head/cam etc, I'm making 461rwhp/435rwtq. That's 542 at the crank with a mild cam. 100mm mass isn't going to hurt you but by itself don't expect much in the world of HP increase. Now if you had a 427 with a huge cam etc, then maybe there would be a gain. People routinely use 90mm masses with there 402 and 427's, and make 600hp easy. If 100mm masses were the thing then this fourm would be writing about them every day, and posting the HP gains. Anyway read and talk to people who know and then make logical choices. Some will be good and some may not be so good but that's the nature of the game. hope the info helps.

why would you want one if our TB's are only 90mm? i think those are for use with blower apps like the maggie.

if you're looking for some magic extra hp from replacing the MAF, you won't find one

I ordered the "MagnaCharger" from the US, Will be at my door after 20 days because I live in Kuwait, So I thought if I want more power I will go for the MAF to improve my engine performance, But it's seems that the experts doesn't recommend to use it.. What would you do if you has the "VaraRam"? Do you want to install it with your stock MAF? or use an aftermarket MAF? And which brand?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help.

I would stay away from the varaRAM, because it's not, and it's cheap in it's contruction. With the maggie use the halltech stinger, with the stock mass. It will pull all the air needed. Living where you live , I would buy an extra filter. Also buy a couple of cans of K&N oil spray for these types of filters. You simply wash it in warm water and soap , let dry, then spray a thin film of oil over the filament and reinstall. The extra filter is in case you damage the filter, there's no down time waiting for a new one to be delivered. Anyway that's what I would do.
Good luck you should have no problems.

just another item that may be of interest ?

the intake can only pull in as much air that will fit through the smallest portion of the intake ducting.

just because you have a huge filter on the end doesn't mean the 3" hole will flow any better. need more flow make a bigger hole.

if you want velocity, have a larger opening prior to a 'choke-point', i.e. the throttle body will be the choke-point.

the stock maf works for me.

if you want to 'experiment' you can pick up a new stock one pretty cheap then have it ported polished modded, etc.

the stock maf has an internal air diffusor, which can be removed, or modded to allow more air flow and or direct the airflow as desired.

since it appears you will be installing the 'magnacharger' soon, i would see what they recommend.

i have seen some reports of 100mm open mafs, which don't have the internal diffusor nor the 'wires' that are found in the 'stock' and or 'Granatelli'.

one of the lingengelfter modded cars on the forum has one, 100mm maf that is.

Hey Zig, I think you mean a ported TB not a plastic mass. You can't port and polish a plastic mass air flow sensor. Also with todays OBII ECM removing the screen will set a code for lean at idle boths banks.

but the 'stock' unit has a metal 'structure' in it.

i removed my 'screen' about a week after purchasing my car (new 4 miles on it) and did not throw any codes.

here is a pic of the stock maf with screen removed.



all of the 'silver' area can be ported, polished, etc.
