I'd go with the C7 or CobaltSS MAF. Card style, buy bung, install in any size pipe you desire. Tables available through HP Tuners for whatever size pipe you do use to get you close, then just some fuel trim adjustments and your off. If you don't have HP yourself your tuner can easily make this work for you

why would this be better then the 85mm truck MAF?

I'm looking for details like what parts are needed (maf, plug, wiring)

The truck MAF is not really going to help you out
unless you've got big-bore-everything and then, you
might max out the truck piece (459g/sec @ 12kHz)
while the stock 75mm will read up to 511g/sec @ 12kHz).

You need a junkyard pigtail if you like to solder, or a
Casper's adaptor harness if you don't.

And you need to stick your fingers in the tune, to
run with a 85mm MAF on an F-body.

My advice to you is, descreen a stock 75mm and
if you're leaving less than 2kPa of BARO-MAP on
the table, at WOT, call it good enough.

I put an 85mm MAF on my old ws6 for appearance purposes only, turned sideways it looks like you're speed density tuned and looked really clean. The IAC sensor is taken out of the lid and the MAF has one built in, and without AIR hoses it leaves your lid just a lid. I'd do it!

Nothing to gain from it really. Don't bother.
