descreening a maf?
I wonder how the LS3/LS7 card style MAF sensors have any chance of working properly without screens that so many claim are required...hmmm; all that crooked air & such, LOL.
Will say it once more, the MAF can be descreened. However, as with any engine mod, it's advised to have the equipment (tuning software) so that the change can be properly adjusted for in the tune. It's best to adjust the MAF table after removing the screen, but not always absolutely necessary. The car will idle leaner which may or may not cause issues.
I have never had an issue w/ a descreened MAF that couldn't be adjusted for in the MAF table.

Why are some of you talking about the screen protecting from stuff getting into your engine? There should be absolutely nothing on the screen, because there should be an air filter in front of. The consequences are obvious... Debris entering your engine notwithstanding, the MAF screen has a purpose derived from countless hours of engineering. It isn't to be removed by backyard mechanics looking to gain more horsepower. You might enjoy some extra horsepower while airflow is misdirected around the sensor and your car goes lean...which then could proceed to blow your **** up.
Leave the screen alone.
Leave the screen alone.
