MAF Ends and Tuning (ported?, polished?, stock?!) I am having my car dyno tuned next week and the tuner suggested I put my stock MAF Ends back on. However the stock ones look like sh*t compared to the nice satin finished ported onces. Wonder if anyone has any problems running LS1Speed's polished ends and tuning?
Thanks
Thanks
Re: MAF Ends and Tuning (ported?, polished?, stock?!) I had to put my stockers back on too when I was going to tune my car. I just used a really fine grit sandpaper to polish them up a little on the outside. You can still have them look nice on the outside without messing with the inner part of the MAF ends.

Re: MAF Ends and Tuning (ported?, polished?, stock?!) I was asked to swap back to stock, too. Apparently, you can't feed as much timing in with ported MAF ends because they usually cause a lean condition and high RPM pinging.
Re: MAF Ends and Tuning (ported?, polished?, stock?!) I'm in the same situation. I have some nice TBYRNE MAF ends, and want to use them when I get tuning. Nobody uses ported ends while they tune? I figured that the a/f ratio could be tuned to compensate for the ported ends?
Re: MAF Ends and Tuning (ported?, polished?, stock?!) ported ends will work great for tuning. IF you can get the maf transfer function, of air, to voltage/frequency.
That is the problem with altering the maf, nobody to my knowledge can provide a new maf table for a modified maf.
if you can get such a table, sure use it
But as long as the LS1 stays in the dark ages when it comes to tuning, we will be stuck with the stock maf.
Ryan <-- ford guys are WAY ahead of us when it comes to maf options.

I just used 3000 grit fine sandpaper and just polished them

Re: MAF Ends and Tuning (ported?, polished?, stock?!) Yeah, my tuner said he could make it work with the ported ends--But that it would mean MORE dyno time. I'll pass
