LS3 MAF install direction

Finishing up my LS2 to LS3 swap and want to clarify which way the LS3 MAF gets installed - silver side down? There is an arrow which I'm guessing indicates direction of airflow, but installing it that way makes all the writing on the side upside down. Silver side down is the most logical way to install by looking at it.

Can somebody verify?

The arrow points to the direction of airflow (towards the engine). At the MAF connection there is a grey clip that slides below the wires and clicks into the connection for additional security. That should clarity both MAF and wire positions.

No grey clip as I have an adapter harness to go from LS2 engine harness to LS3 MAF.

Thanks for the confirmation on direction. Silver side down.
