Default MAF options

I've got the factory MAF for my 2006 Tahoe motor. It's a honeycomb style and somewhat restrictive. What are my options for a different MAF without changing the wiring connector? Thanks in advance.

Hi Hart! your ride is looking great as always!

so the honeycomb type maf is pretty great as it's not quite as sensitive to turbulence and intake tubing diameter.

you could switch to the ls7 card style maf, but might not want to for the reasons I listed above (i also think some wiring stuff would need to be done, not 100%)

were it me, and I had to have a better flowing maf, i'd use the TSP 100mm maf. it should be a plug in option but you will need to rescale the MAF flow/hz in your tune.

whatever you do, dont de-screen the stock one. been there and it's not good.

Thanks. It's tinted glass that I had a local glass shop cut and temper for me.
