Alky injection through MAF?

My MAF is right on top of my throttle body right now. If I want to add an aky injection system, is it possible to let it spray through the MAF? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but just thought I'd check.

Thanks,
Terry

The Incon setup (at least stage II) has bungs for two injectors behind the maf. Bad idea to spray in front of the maf. Stage I you just drill holes in the flats behind the maf.

It seems to me that the cold alky would cause the MAF to add fuel much like being sprayed with a dry shot of nitrous. Probably end up running real rich with extra fuel being dumped and alky when it's on. You could probably tune for it though as long as the alky was used all the time.

spraying fuel, through a heating element is never a good idea.

Yea, as said above..... don't spray alky before the maf.... it's gonna throw things way off.

Yep, Razor said do not spray in front of the MAF...which complicates the install on an incon car.

I looked at the bung pads, that was plan A, but they were too freakin thick for my nozzle setup without further fabrication, so placed the nozzle on the bottom front of the adapter. still in the process of buttoning up things, but it turned out nice imo.
