Z06 maf what exactly is the advantage of switching to the Z06 maf? will it be better for tuning or just the same? is it just the size that makes the difference or what. just looking for info for now.

You will have to get the Maf, jumper harness, and change the Maf tables in the tune to reflect the Z06 Maff. I had one a few years ago...did not gain much over the stock one.

It reads at a higher resolution but is capable of a wider range of frequency than the LT1 pcm so it poses some issues once you make enough power to actually benifit from it. Can be tuned it is just more work pas that point.
Our pcm can not understand it beyond 360gps of airflow to put that into perspective my car exceeds that number and I run a stock shortblock yet.
Once I learn more in tuning I MIGHT try this again(tried when they first came out and gave up) the increased resolution down low should mean a slight improvement in response and drivability, maybe even economy but once you get past 360gps you have to tune it like speed density, completely doable but more work.

What is the max you can get it to understand??
Any corrections on my other statements far as potential for better drivability and such?

Was yours setting the MAF code, or injector pulse width cutting back to 15 mili/sec?
To answer the other gentleman: When mine was making 460, and up until 500 rwhp the 85mm "Z06" MAF was worth almost 5 rwhp over a stock 3 1/2" unit with the screen removed. I have been running mine Speed Density for over 2 years now, and after 500 rwhp that was worth about 4 more rwhp. Last pull with mine a few weeks ago (after new rings and springs) mine made 532 through the mufflers.
Take care, Ed

I tried the ZO6 MAF early on with the L99 so it was only moving like 220gps max as seen on the stock MAF which I though was bad hence the ZO6 attempt at replacing it. One of my early mistakes when I kept throwing parts at the car instead of real diagnosis. The MAF was not the problem and BH could not get the ZO6 MAF tuned right at that time(years ago), had black smoke out the tailpipe under throttle, milage was crap.
Sounds like I might be able to gain a few hp with one, not enough to make it worthwhile from that perspective, but can I get you to comment on any potential drivability gains from the higher resolution??? If I can get 3rwhp and some drivability gains I might just try it again.
