Ever since i put my car together it has been falling flat after 5800 or so and didnt seem to have the power it should...I think i found the problem today.

I guess I should've got an after market CAI instead of keeping my stock box and a fram filter. It was pulling so much air it tried to inhale my air filter lol, so I think ill order a moroso intake tomorrow.

The car is A LOT faster now.

I also cleaned my MAF sensor and it fixed my slow shifting to 3rd gear, also found that the previous owner had descreened it so ill be getting another screened one soon.

I would get the k&n cai if I were you. I had the moroso and I didn't like the fit at all imho.

My MAF also looks to have been descreened by the previous owner....Why do people do this again?

Did you just hijack his thread??

Hey, it wasn't much of a thread to begin with. It was filled with plot holes and I could see the ending coming a mile away.

I don't think there is much harm in running a descreened MAF, though I don't see the benefit of descreening it so I wouldn't much worry.

Go to madz28.com and look in his FAQ it talks about descreening the MAF and his thoughts.

Hey how bout respecting the OP and get your own thread
Who are you to say it wasn't much of a thread to begin with? As if your MAF question wasn't of the same caliber.

Dude, go find a sense of humor, what do you think the smiley was for?

I hijacked nothing, he talked about getting a CAI and a new MAF, I don't think he needs a new MAF.

Calm down, it's just the internet.

your right i probably dont need a new MAF but i dont care for it being descreened and want a screened one, its just a matter of opinion, but then again its my car

Yeah sorry I have a sense of humor, just didn't really see the joke in that. Ok my apologies about the MAF deal, didnt see it in the OP.

As for the MAF , I dont think it is a big deal. It is when people start porting them out it changes the calibration of things, and makes it harder for tuning the comp. Taking the screen out will not affect too much. It has a honeycomb pattern that is meant to keep the air flowing in a more uniform manner.

355z28, you're probably better off with a screened one anyways now that I think of it, descreened probably get dirty quicker.

As for the CAI, I've put in 3 K&N's into f-bodies with no trouble, and was satisfied with the end result. Especially when you hear it whine. If you're into dressed up engine bay's, I'd say go with one that is polished or powdercoated chrome color with a similar elbow, just don't over do the chrome/polished look. I do not recommened ebay intakes, though from what I've heard.

97lt1, it's ok, I'm not always funny when I try to be. =P.

To quote VW...

"it's definitely sucking"....lol.

Wow man that's a wild pic. When you get your new cai, might not be a bad idea to reset your pcm (unplug battery for few minutes) and relearn your config.

The MAF screen is not designed to be filtering agent. The purpose of the MAF
is to reduce the air turbulence before it reaches the sensor(s). It would be less
of a concern if the airflow [of the intake system] were a straight shot, but since
there is a (basically) 90 degree bend before the MAF, the screen assists in
"straightening out" the airflow.

I love having Ram Air, I dont have to worry too much about CAI's but most of my buddies live by the K&N. Just my .2
