Default what if i only run headers on the passanger side

im working on installing an LS1 into a s-10 truck there is no room for LT headers on the drivers side but could run some on the passangers side, how would that effect the engine if only running LT on the passangers side while staying stock MAF on the drivers side, but i cut the driver MAF in half and it is lager than the passanger side MAF, i will take some pics

you will need very custom tuning to make it run right.

the maf is a single sensor, messing with it, will just screw everything up.

in other words, don't bother

Oh, by "stock MAF" do you mean stock manifold????? Usually MAF on here refers to the mass airflow sensor.

not worth it in my opinion. just get some factory 02 ls1 manifolds... they flow better than other years.

i would think the signals at the frotn o2s would be very different on each side so it would be hard to tune.

lol Im sure manifolds will be better off than a manifold on one side and a header on the other. The engine may be out of balance from running a header on only one side since that bank will breathe better and make a little better torque than the other bank. I cant believe you were actually considering doing that.
