Either way he's a moron. Best MAF for an LT1 is a stock MAF.

Hey:

I am curious, did you or can you ask your so called great tuner the reason why, and is it any LS1 MAF or a particular LS MAF, I would like to see that answer, Thanks.

Im building a forged 383 supercharged looking at about 15 psi. he told me I should look into getting a LS6 MAF but its not needed. So im guessing I should stick with my stock one?

The ZO6 MAF get maxed out by a decent heads/cam LT1. I am not sure what benefit there would be to using it on a blower motor that will max it out at a low rpm.
