Honestly, i heard changing from the stock MAF makes it more difficult for it to get "tuned," which should only matter if you are planning on a tune any time in the future....

I just went to an 85mm MAF from an 02 ZO6. It isnt hard to tune if you have a tuner that knows what they are doing. You will definately see a gain if you have a 90mm intake butyou should use an 85mm lid also. Texas speed is also coming out with a 100mm MAF and lid soon.

Not true, any tuner worth a damn will tell you that it wont make a difference.
But if you can afford it then why not? If you cant stay stock.

tuning shouldnt be any harder if your tuner tells you that turn around and run!!
