Jet has a new MAF

Says it flows 48% more on a flow bench. It's also one of those pre-programmed MAF meters like the ones for the Mustangs. Wonder if it's any good.

Nothing wrong with the stock ones unless your running big boost.

The BBK ones for the 5.0 Mustangs work like a charm.

Guinea pig's ****. Until you max the stocker out you arent going to gain enough to worry about it and even then its marginal. Doesnt get much more free flowing than a round channel. That little screen in there isnt hurting a thing.

The only reason anyone ever saw a gain descreening thier maf or putting in a different one is because the stock wot tune on the lt1 is a pos and its about0.75-1 full a/f ratio rich in my experience. The descreened maf screws up the calibration and it reports less air so less fuel is injected and you make more power because you're running a more correct a/f. The downside is it screws up your low airflow readings and fuel trims nicely. Too bad you spend all day at airflows between 25-70grams/sec without getting on it, right where it screws it all up good.

Bigger maf's I can sort of agree with but you better be making some REAL hp before you start worrying about that. I've seen a couple guys who were making 550-580fwhp on the engine dyno switch to a large size lsx type maf and pick up almost 5hp after tuning, dare to dream.
