maf and lid A maf and lid you will surely gain hp and notice it, but i have heard that, that particular maf is troublesome with throwing codes on some cars or something.
Hopefully someone else will chime in, that knows more. If you get a lid, get a quality one, as some dont seal well and suck dirt.

I have't heard to many good things about there maf's evey once and a while someone has a good feedback. But since you have it i'd give it a shot and see how it does. Anyone happen to see the latest super chevy where they put a granatelli maf on a LT1 and gained 30+hp and like 22ft-lbs. This is an example of a good feedback but most mag are sponsered or get money for useing certain products such as granatelli. I beleive they did the baseline dyno with a dirty air filter which is why they got such good results. You should have seen this filter it looked like it was covered in mud and i believe thats why they got such good reults because they changed the filter not from the maf.

There are gains a few people have seen results its a real hit or miss thing. I would just swap it and see what happens if you start pinging take it off if not leave it. I'm not sure if you allready have a lid but if you don't just hook it to the stock intake system if you already have a lid you will need some fernco or something to hook it up you actually might need it with the stock system im not sure i don't really remember if there is any give to the stock intake but there was no way it was going into my lid so i just sliped some fernco over the lid and the maf.

Hi Folks
I have the ZO6 MAF (85MM) without a screen. It appears to work OK, I actually got a copy of a 2003 ZO6 tables and installed them in my PCM. The numbers appear to be normal but I am not sure that I gained or lost an performance. I did it because of the 90MM TB and intake - I could see having a 75MM MAF with that setup. I am not sure it helped or hurt. Remember most the folks will tell you not to waste your money on it but it is your call.

I put the SLP 85mm MAF on cuz I screwed my stocky up by descreening mine. With the SLP MAF there was a noticable difference compared to mine descreened one and the installation took about 5 mins. and haven't had any probs. since. I don't know if it fits well with the stock bellow but I went out & bought the cheap fernco one and it works fine.
