Default Going from ported MAF to stock MAF

I am fixing to put a stock MAF back on my car and I was just wondering how much this will affect my A/F. I am using LS1edit, so I'll change the table for part throttle back to stock and then leave the table for WOT the same, at least till I can tune it. Will this change cause the car to run leaner or richer at WOT? If known approximately how much leaner or richer?

put your maf back to stk and the stk table. Do you have an AFR on a stk maf with you current setup? You can send me a file and I am willing to help. pm me.

No, I've had my ported MAF on pretty much since I got my car. From what I hear going back to a stock MAF makes tuning a lot easier and usually will produce more HP. I mean I can take the time and money to go and dyno tune it again (because I almost had the ported one tuned right, the only problem was on the ls1edit table I had to multiply it by 117% and another 5% with a maft just to get the ltrims under 0). I was just hoping someone had done this before.

Slammed,

I think you are correct, a stock MAF is easier to tune and they can support quite a bit of RWHP's. The only issue I have with my 85 MM Delphi MAF is the LTrims at low/part throttle are slightly above 0 where as the stock MAF is perfect. I'm going back to a stock MAF to smooth out my idle RPM's, i.e no surge. As far as dyno tuning I believe it's actually better to set up a tune which is good for both the street...drives and shifts well and the track...shifts are firm and ET's are still good rather than a making great numbers on the dyno, I use the dyno most of all to adjust the A/F.
