Default Intake question

We are running a 06 GTO engine in a rock racer,we bought a 90mm Eldlebrock throttle body.First question is can we run the stock mass air flow meter or do we need an after market one?Reason for asking is the throttle body is 90mm and the MAFM is like an inch smaller in diameter.Second question is where can you get 45* elbows that measure 90mm or 4"?Thanks Pops

i dont see why you couldn't run the factory MAF but you would need a hose to connect it that would make it fit.

What size is the stock MAF on the GTO's?

I have a 90mm TB and I'm using a Corvette Z06 85mm MAF.

I used the stock bellow on mine. Just heated it up and stretched it over the throttle body
