Are you intercooled? If so, perhaps spraying prior to the IC will give you the reduced temps without subjecting the MAF to possibly degrading solvent.
Alternatively, you might be safe if you spray a mixture of 50:50 methanol/distilled water.
Just ideas, I'm no expert.
Good luck,

How quickly would the MAF go out if I were to spray it? I might just install the kit, drive back to Dallas and then get a LS1 MAF and get it retuned or something before the MAF goes out......

it may not damage the MAF, but as soon as you hit the element with any water the reading will go nuts. I'd be more concerned with the erractic fuel delivery breaking the motor than killing the MAF.

figures....
I don't like the idea of tapping hte back of the TB in fear of unproper distribution of the meth, its too close to the intake runners for a good mix.

Tiago, try going over to ClubGP.com and do a search on their forum for meth. I know of a lot of W-body 3800 guys spraying meth, but I don't know where the actual plumbing goes. You probably will find some how-to's on the forum. A guy in Oklahoma (forum name Devildoc - sp? Maybe Devldoc? First name Bilal) is/has built many meth kits for the W-body 3800 crowd at reasonable prices. He could probably steer you in the right direction if you can't find anything with search. Also check their classifieds for used TB's (MAF in it) for a spare. They're the same as yours.
ZZPPerformance.com sells LS1 TB/MAF setups for the 3800. You may already know all this, but HTH.

It won't work. If you get the MAF wet it will peg full reading, just like water on the maf. Car will run like crap.
If you are worried about distribution why not just direct port the intake? 8 Small nozzles.
