Default Granatelli MAF

The Granatelli MAF.....Is it worth it. I am throwing on a new Whisper Lid and a smooth bellow (free bee )! Do you think putting on the MAF would help at all. Ive seen such a wide variety of responses that dont answer my questions. Can you feel the difference or would I feel any difference, and what power gains would I get. Just interested, because I read all about the Granatelli and they are hell bent about telling us that we will see a big difference! Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Mike

Don't waste the money, I really could'nt tell any difference when I put mine on and getting a good tune with one is hard.

it's too expensive for what it gets you. with that kind of money, buy yourself bigger injectors or something... the only reason to get a bigger maf for me is when you go forced induction, as then you can max it out _really_ easy

just spend your money elsewhere. The stock MAF is good for a little over 600HP.

Stock MAF is your best friend.
Only need to get rid of it once you jump to an 85mm/90mm intake tract, and even then, many people keep it.
