Leave it alone!!!! Your MAF isnt a restriction until you have MAJOR mods, put your money towards something else.

Exactly what 96z said.

When I hit the track thursday, I'll have an 11-second slip at 115+ with stock tb, stock maf, stock intake manifold (no porting even), and stock bottom end w/ ported stock heads. Those things definitly aren't restrictions for ya.

thanks, i just thought that maybe a bigger TB and MAF would help me on spray, but i think i'll save my money for now.

I have a Granatelli MAF that I got on ebay for $150 and I love it. Mods are in my sig. I felt a good difference. Plus it's plastic and so weighs a lot less than the stocker. Also the AS&M throttle body made a difference. They will give you one on exchange for the stock TB, in the end you pay about $250.

if you insist on replacing your MAF... go with a Z06/LS6 one... either a replacement one for a GM dealer (If you can program your own PCM) or the one from LS1speed.com (Pre-Calibrated for use on LT1 cars)... the $300 for a Grantenelli isn't even close to worth it...

Heck, the only reason I have a Z06 on mine is because my stock one sh*t the bed.. and a Z06 one from the dealer is only $85.

Don't get any aftermarket MAF, MAF ends or port yours.... DON'T TOUCH YOUR STOCK MAF! You'll be happy you didn't.
