I've had good luck with my MAF ends- my car runs strong and dynoed well with my basic mods (including the MAF ends). Did the MAF ends help? Maybe- I don't think they hurt me. But it's easy to see I'm in the minority. I probably wouldn't have done it based on what I know now.

not the setup. I needed to learn how to set the shift points corretly When I did get it figured out.. the car went 13.10@107.09 (2.06), 13.01@107.99 (1.98) and 12.94@107.91 (1.98) with the addition of a cutout
Not to mention... your comparing runs that happened in drastically different weather and traction conditions (60ft).
All the data is on my website http://www.geocities.com/wilwaxu/about.html#ss
I've ran Whisper ported MAF ends on both my cars with great results.
I ported them on my '98 two years ago and have had zero problems. Haven't had my car to the track or anything, so I don't have any numbers to back anything up, however I felt a bit more SOTP in the top end. Just be careful, some websites will tell you to port the actual sensor too, that I would not reccomend.
