SLP vs. Stock MAF, interesting situation
SLP vs. Stock MAF, interesting situation I have a 2001 WS6
The car came with a SLP MAF installed.
I have a 98 stock MAF which I am contemplating putting on. I heard it was easier to tune a stock MAF as opposed to aftermarket
The problem is this, I read the MAF was changed after 2000 or 2001. Do you think I can use the 98 stock MAF on my car, or just leave the SLP on there? I want to get my car dyno tuned, but I dont want to have any problems.

'98-'02 F-body stock MAFs are identical and still used on
Holdens I believe as well.
SLP makes two MAFs, the '01-'02 version is closer to the
stock MAF freq/flow calibration while the '98-'00 version
indicates lean (not good).
The SLP MAFs are "close" but still not quite right to the
stock table. You have the option of taking out the little
resistor and using a truck table if the tuner can go that
way (one who can't, probably isn't much of a tuner).
How to tell which SLP version you have, I can only guess
you'd have to cut the heat-shrink off the resistor and read
the color code, 2.7K on the late model (red/purple/red)
and something else on the earlier.
There is a whole bunch of info on this right here if you
search it up.

I believe the SLP MAF has ported ends, which is the part you want regardless. I'd put those ends on the stock electronics & go with that. All the gains & none of the worries.
