Default SLP 85mm MAF

Who is running this?? Is it worth the money? Or should I just pay the extra $100 dollars for the granetti?

I have it on my car.
I can't say whether it helped or not, but I figure the larger MAF versus the stocker is worth more airflow.
Come time for a dyno tune, I'll probably go back to the stocker.

MAF is a hit-or-miss thing. Some people have the best luck with the stocker, while others have good luck with aftermarket ones.

I'd say give it a shot, and if it works for ya, then cool. If it makes the car run crappy, then just go back to the stocker.

I don't think it did squat. May have even hurt performance. I'm gonna put the stocker back on & then I'll tell for sure.

I use them on many cars they work great. I tune with them on most cars no probs.

Mine looks great mounted on the wall of my garage. It was making my tranny shift weird.
Went back to stock-car feels much better.

Default Re: SLP 85mm MAF

the stock MAF is good up to about 500-550 hp
If your not close...you dont need it...spend your money elsewhere...port and polish Throttlebody,do the bump stop mod....use it towards an LS6 intake or something that will make a difference.....
I just did the intake...I'm at 400 now....without heads....
