Yes. The maf is what senses the extra oxygen and makes the injectors spray more fuel. Anyone else correct me if I'm wrong.

ok so with a dry kit on a ls1 you dont need a fuel pressure riser, correct? the maf will take care of the extra fuel?

Correct, as long as your fuel delivery system is up to the task.

just make sure its not spraying directly at the MAF or the air filter. It will freeze and plug the airfilter

Im correcting you....

It doesnt have to be if you have a boost reference fuel pressure regulator.... A Mustang or LT1 dry kit will work on these cars with that type of fuel setup.
