Is this throwing off my MAF? Well my fabricator made my LS2 intake tube wrong. I asked for a 6AN male connection AFTER the MAF ( I'm using a LS3 card style ) for my line to the passenger valve cover and he put it directly across from the MAF! Is this flow large enough to make it run like **** not being downstream of the sensor?

Well it's going through a catch can, and that side is the clean side, you think I'd get alot of oil on that line? I was also thinking if that was the case maybe I could weld a small dam on the inside opening up twords the intake

Why even bother running it back to the intake if you have a catch can?
I run mine str8 off the valve covers and to the catch can.
If u say "for vacuum" just run it to the exhaust like header evac's...it'll put suction on the crank case and no chance of oiling the intake.

Well I mean you have to run the catch can somewhere, I have a dual, one for the valley cover to intake manifold and the fresh air side, valve cover to intake tube. The issue is everything is already built / welding in 6an for the dual can, every connection, so I'm hoping to make it work.

I'd say yes. ANY disruption to the airflow is going to make for funky MAF readings.
A quik test. Watch the MAF flow w/ the line on, plug the hole in the tube, and see what the reading is...
