100mm MAF for the LSx engine.............. Why do companies keep making the 90mm MAF???
Why doesn't someone step it up to a 100mm MAF......then someone needs to make a 100mm intake and TB.
Isn't advances in mods the goal?
Cams, pistons, heads, exhaust, stroking, boring, nitrous, etc..... all this doesn't mean dick if you can't move the air

I think the reason this has not been done is because MAF sensors are not very accurate at low airflow velocities. By increasing the diameter of the MAF beyond a certain point you reduce the velocity through the MAF and (I think) introduce turbulence at low speeds. This would cause innacurate readings.

How big is the MAF that a C5R race car uses on its engine?
how about 2 small MAF's then. that should help keep turbulence down.make a special wiring harness with built in module that will take the reading from the 2 MAF and add then together and send them out so that it looks like what 1 MAF would read.

I have the FAST 90 intake/tb and a 85mm Granatelli MAF on my 427. Gained 20rwhp, 515rwhp (40 degrees outside) to 535rwhp (around 85 degrees out), I know about correction factors and I know there was still a difference that day.
Plus the throttle response was insane, like I installed a higher gear.
What intake set-up do you have now?
Peace,
Craig.

Nothing right now, but I have the Fast 90mm intake and Nick Williams throttle body on my garage floor waiting for me to install it. Need to get a bellow and MAF to complete it. Not sure what MAF to go with or if I should go with a speed density tune. I'll have to give Mike @ G-Force a call and see if he has experience with it. If not, then I guess I'll just have to decide on what MAF to get.

Well than how do I go with a dual throttle body for my engine?
Or is the 90mm plenty for my set up. If I can get more flow, meaning more power, from the dual type maybe I'll do it.
How much $$$?
