ported maf ends, good idea?
I'm probably going to buy the MTI clear lid and a new air filter in the near future, I was thinking about picking up the fast toys ported maf ends since they're only $70 and seems like it could make a pretty good difference. I've heard that all lids have problems sealing, could something get by my air filter and get sucked into my engine if I dont have the screen on my maf? Is there a way to make an aftermarket lid seal perfectly?

Cars such as the vette don't even have a maf screen. Some lids seal a little funky but most guys like to put down some type of foam stripping if they are worried about it. And if you are a "broke *** full time college student" I would not suggest screwing with the Maf, so many people run into problems when they start f*ckin with it seriously.

i dont see how so many people have problems with MAFs. i think theyre just completely incapable of working on cars so when they make a mistake they blow up the forums with their whining.
ive learned MAFs are pointless mods. and in my experience with my past 4 cars ive never had problems.
95 z28: descreened maf cuz i was bored. ran fine.
97 t/a: ported maf ends cuz i was curious on results. none. ran fine.
02 ws6: stock maf cuz i learned its pointless. ran fine.
99 ws6: granatelli maf cuz last owner did it. still runs fine.

Just get the P&P throttle body and MAF ends from him and add a little powdercoating to the engine bay to clean things up.
I put the ported MAF ends on my car and didn't notice a difference, but after it was tuned for everything it did run better.....I say every little bit helps so if this removes a small restriction, more power to it.
