Default Question on dual fresh air inlets

I would like to run dual cold air pipes to my TB. Will I need to put a MAF in each cold air pipe?

Thanks,
Wade

I think the only real way to make it work right is to put your maf right at the throttle body. Then have your Y go out from there.

our cars can't run dual MAFs without special wiring and rigging. u could just run mafless in SD tuning and that would eliminate the issue all together

Default Mafless????????????????

Thanks guys for your answers. I have VERY limited knowledge when it comes to LS1 engings and their computers and sensers. What does MAFLESS mean, and how do I do it and what are the costs involved?
Thanks again
Wade

PS Anyone want to volunteer a phone number I would be more than glad to call and try to get some of my questions answered.

Going mafless means you no longer use a MAFsensor. You need to use tuning software to recalibrate the computer so it no longer looks for a mas airflow sensor, it then uses only the TPS and MAP sensors and calculates the amount of air that is flowing through the engine instead of using the MAF to measure that amount of airflow.

do a search on speed density tuning and mafless and u should get a general idea of what we are talking about. a competent tuner could tune in SD
