You can check the Search function in the Exterior Engine section for info on the LS6 MAF. But my opinion on this part is to leave the stock unit on. The LS6 (85mm???) will do not much if anything at all for performance. And unless you have a 1998 model, will lean out the stock tuning. There is other performance to be gained elsewhere. Of course this info wouldn't apply to you if you're driving a Cammed up, Supercharged >600hp LS1. I won't be able to help you with that motor.

1LE springs in a chrome color? I hope they're not chrome plated! could they possibly be Hotchkis springs? they're shipped in a light silver color.

Madman LCAs and PHB ...

ARE K-member ... IMO you shouldn't install unless you plan on having a drag race only car. The ride height and ride quality will totally change.

1LE springs are stiffer than stock and have about the same ride height. If you want to lower your car, then these springs aren't for you. If you want to autocross in the stock class, then use the 1LE springs. If you like the stock ride height and want better handling, then use the 1LE springs.

Keep the stock MAF ... don't ever do anything to it. Don't remove the screen, don't port it ... nothing.
