Default switching MAFs?

I was told running a truck MAF would flow more air into my LS. Obviously, the connectors are different. What is the best way to convert them over? The truck MAF has the IAT integrated, so I was wondering was there maybe a pigtail that would do it, or am I going to have to come up with something on my own? I could cut the new harness, but would like to avoid that at all costs.

Several vendors sell a pigtail to do that swap. You need to change the MAF table in the PCM.

It is debatable if the 85mm MAF will make any difference.

Also, could I run a 700r with a T56 programmed computer, or does it need a clutch pedal input?
