Ok, heres a question I have been pondering on. I have a 383 LT1 stroker in my 95 Trans am. I am wondering if I should put the MAF on the intake side of the Supercharger or the exhaust side of it. I have seen people do either or and want to know which would I benefit better from. Is there and advantage to one or the other?

 

This should be discussed in the Forced Induction Forum. Transfering, Thanks.

 

Hasnt anyone done this??? I have seen people do both so I know there is a difference.

 

It probalby helps decrease intake restriction if it's placed on the "pressure" side. This should make more boost. I am going to relocate mine this year.

I relocated my MAF and one of the biggest benefits is, if you blow a tube, the car will still run. If the maf is on the intake side of the blower and you loose a tube, you are stuck fixing it at the side of the road.

Some have arqued that there was a little better throttle response but I did not notice it.

Of course I don't have to worry about the MAF anymore

 

i moved mine to the pressurized side to get rid of excess tubing for a bypass valve. I just vent it to atmosphere now. It seemed to fix some idle surging and actually seems to run a bit smoother now.

The only down side is that when I let off the throttle, the bypass valve opens, and when releasing pressure in the intake tract, air flows backwards over the MAF and is metered. Extra fuel is dumped in for a really brief period of time, usually causing a small backfire out the exhaust. It makes for some pretty flames at night.
