So looking in the future to upgrade my whole intake system from the lid to the intake. I was looking at the 102 mm intakes on the market and the 104mm lids. My question is who makes a good MAF that is 102mm or bigger? I see posts on a PowerMAF 103.5mm but can't seem to find it to buy???

Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks

I wouldn't run an aftermarket MAF. If you are going to use a larger one, use a GM 85mm truck MAF or just get it tuned in SD.

Tuned in SD? Also wouldn't that defeat the whole idea of going to s bigger intake like 102mm? Just asking. Thanks

SD- Speed density (no MAF). In most cases the opening is not the restriction with the intake, it's usually runner design and plenum volume that will determine what the intake is capable of. There are many members here running a 102 setup with an 85mm maf and don't have issues with it.

Ahhh duh yes speed density. My bad.
Thanks for that info I will start doing my home work and see which route I should run.

There's no need to get crazy with MAF sizes unless you are running a big cube high horsepower build, at which point you might as go get rid of the MAF completely.

If you're dead set on keeping it though, get a 4" housing, bolt on an LS3/LS7 card style MAF and that's it. Can be done for under $100 and will provide you with all the flow you need.

I'm running a C5R. Know anyone who makes a4" tube that will fit in a 1999 TA work the ram air lid?

Spectre makes a 4" card style MAF housing.

Cool! Do you know the part # off hand? Also what sensor brand do I now is a good one? I hear LS7 is the best now. Sorry new to this idea so that's why all the questions.

Thanks

Either one of those two will work fine, although I've heard on the C5 forums that some came with a "weak" sensor so you may want to do some research on which ones are like that if you go with the LS3.

Cool thanks!
