Question Will ZO6 MAF richen up my air/fuel?

Will a GM ZO6 85MM MAF help richen up my air/fuel? At my latest dyno my car is running lean and likes to ping at high rpms. Looking for a bolt on that can help. I did a search, didn't see any direct answers. Thanks fellow LS gurus!

You really should have the tune corrected if you want to be safe. A/F ratio is not something I would want to try to band aid.

I would also really recommend a proper tune.

Yeah you need the tune fixed for the larger maf. Car might not run right without it.

It won't matter for tuning purposes, a tune should fix you up regardless of which MAF you run.

Sweet, I love direct answers. Time to save some cash and take it up to Race Proven Motorsports!
