Default maxed MAF, options?

i dropped pulley sizes today and went to tune and my maf freq is maxed out in the upper rpm range. im running around 13psi and i need a suggestion on which one i need to replace it with. im not interested in going to speed density. also, i have the 4inch inlet tube upgrade.

what is the cost difference between a suitable maf and a 2 bar map?

thanks for the help

Alot of people are switching to the new style LS3 and 7 MAF's. Sveral companies sell them in a housing ready to bolt on. If you buy one from GM you have to come up with a way to mount it.

The limit in your PCM is not really much higher at all than a stock MAF. It is pointless to try and get a MAF that can recognize more flow. You are better off going SD.
