Buy a 3.5" stock MAF. The Granitelli is not worth the tunning problems. Most tuners will tell you they are extremely hard to tune right. Also the stock 3.5" MAF is cheaper new and used.

A ported MAF does nothing for power. I dyno tested my car stock, then with the poerted MAF, then a week later with the ported MAF. I initially gained 12rwhp/8rwtq with the ported MAF, but a week later I was back to stock power levels. The computer learned and made adjustments. If you have it tuned before and after, more fuel will be used to due to the readings of the ported MAF. No more power and worse gas mileage!

Agree with the others, leave the MAF stock, it is not a restriction unless you making ridiculous power.
