i am thinking about trying to set up an intercooler, if i do then it would be a good time to move my MAF to after the blower and after the intercooler, then i would have acurate IAT and i could use that to reduce my timing when the IAT gets too high.
can it take boost? can it take heat? in ls1edit the chart only goes up to 90deg c, about 195deg f. will my IAT be over that most of the time so it wont help? i have no idea what my actual IAT are under boost, it would be nice to know. is there a sensor that i could just tie into the intake after the blower and leave the MAF right where it is at? what are the 4 wires going to the MAF? 2 for MA? 2 for IAT? wouldn't that be nice

I run mine after the Intercooler. I also placed my IAT sensor in a bung on the Intercooler. Allows me to see intercooler temps when I log with Autotap.

One of my TurboBuick buddies has setup his GN as a blowthru MAF setup, using an LS1 based MAF with Translator. Works great, better spool up, and he claims his drivability has improved even.
In theory, the airflow should be a lot less turbulent, and straighter if setup correctly.
Just thought I'd throw that experience out there.
