ported maf ends, good idea? I'm probably going to buy the MTI clear lid and a new air filter in the near future, I was thinking about picking up the fast toys ported maf ends since they're only $70 and seems like it could make a pretty good difference. I've heard that all lids have problems sealing, could something get by my air filter and get sucked into my engine if I dont have the screen on my maf? Is there a way to make an aftermarket lid seal perfectly?
Cars such as the vette don't even have a maf screen. Some lids seal a little funky but most guys like to put down some type of foam stripping if they are worried about it. And if you are a "broke *** full time college student" I would not suggest screwing with the Maf, so many people run into problems when they start f*ckin with it seriously.

alright guess I'll just use that money on a P&P TB then
btw is'nt there a sponsor on here that does ported throttle bodies for really cheap and lets you send them your stock one for a slight refund

ive learned MAFs are pointless mods. and in my experience with my past 4 cars ive never had problems.
95 z28: descreened maf cuz i was bored. ran fine.
97 t/a: ported maf ends cuz i was curious on results. none. ran fine.
02 ws6: stock maf cuz i learned its pointless. ran fine.
99 ws6: granatelli maf cuz last owner did it. still runs fine.

Just get the P&P throttle body and MAF ends from him and add a little powdercoating to the engine bay to clean things up.
I put the ported MAF ends on my car and didn't notice a difference, but after it was tuned for everything it did run better.....I say every little bit helps so if this removes a small restriction, more power to it.

I'd be glad to take care of a ported throttle body for you. I have cores in stock and can send you a ported one, then you send me your stock one back. Same thing for MAF ends, have cores for those as well. PM me if you'd like.
thanks for the mention there summerwolf.
