Default Can I install a corvette MAF on a Camaro
I know that the electrical plug is different, but can I use a Corvette MAF on a Camaro by using a Corvette plug and splicing into my harness?

It wouldn't be worth it even if you could.

So you're saying an 85mm MAF isn't worth anything over a 75mm?

Depends on the mods, a stock 75mm MAF is going to be a restriction on a heads/cam car with a FAST 90/90 for sure.

if he isn't planning big mods like heads and cam then no it isn't worth it, besides when you get the heads and cam just go with a speed density tune
