Most are all the same except for ones that are all descreened or if they are a 3 or 5 wire MAF. If you can just stock with a stock one unless you want to go bigger

Most 85mm mafs are 5 wire and came on various automobiles from GM. If your looking for an 85mm just grab one off any truck that has the screen on it, they can be had for relatively low prices.

My car had a SLP 85mm MAF on it when I got it. The SLP emblem has long since fallen off, and it was covering the word DEPHI and the part# is ground off. I had heard for years that the SLP MAF's where just a truck MAF. BTW do anyone know if they are any good? Maybe a LS2 or Z06 might be better?
