is it safe to cut out the screen on you mass air flow sensor??
also..do you get a hp gain from cuttin the screen or should you get a new one to add horse?

I personally think that there are more reasons to leave the screen on than to remove it. It was engineered as part of the stock MAF and you will see no performance gains in removing it. Just port and polish your TB and then focus your efforts else-where.

NO one is giving answers because this is like the biggest Beating the dead horse question for an ls1 ever.
just leave it alone its good for up to 500 hp.

ask your tuner what they reccomend. usually a4 leave it alone, and m6 remove it, but ask your tuner first as it will mess with the idle.

Yeah thier is a time and a place and your tuner is the guy that will know if he knows what he is doing.

I descreened mine and have no problems. I didn't purposely descreen it though. I damaged it when removing the screen, when I was cleaning the MAF. I really can't tell if there's any performance difference or not. I've heard people saying that you have a tiny bit better topend, but I don't know. My car hasn't been past 100mph since I got it.

I ported and descreened mine and although I haven't run into any problems, no noticeable difference and wished I would have kept it stock.
