Default 85MM MAF Harness Adapter?

Does anyone know where I can find the wiring harness adapter to go from the stock LS1 MAF to the GM 85MM MAF? Does this adapter eliminate the need for the original IAT sensor? Thanks

casper electronics makes one. Yes it should eliminate the stock iat sensor since the 85mm maf has the iat built in.

Fast Toys sells an adapter too and yes it does do away with the IAT in the lid. The problem with the adapter is now you have a pile of connectors hanging off the throttle body. I ended up cutting the ends and soldering and shrink wrapping the adapter to the stock wiring and it looks much cleaner.

I went to a junkyard, grabbed the connector and about 5in of wire from a suburban, took it home looked up the wire colors(all the same except the IAT, the purple is brown I think, if you want ill go look) and soldered it together, you cant tell its not factory.
