85mm MAF & Lids....
85mm MAF & Lids.... ok heres what i want...
http://www.texas-speed.com/item_deta...ProductID=1151
specific question #1: do i need a jumper/ adapter thing? if so where do i get one?
specific question #2: will this mess with my tune? or make it difficult to tune?
specific question #3: whats required in converting to speed density? what parts? is there a kit? explain what SD is and how is different/better.
thanks
edit: mods include

1. Yes, you'll need a 3 to 5-wire adapter. Casper's electronics (online) has them.
2. Yes it will mess with your tune. It can even make it difficult to tune. If you have HPTuner's or EFI Live, though, and a wideband O2 sensor, we can help you tune it perfectly. We have the technology...
3. If you want to go to speed density, you need tuning software. HPTuners or EFI Live Flashscan. Basically, it gets rid of the MAF sensor input. Do a search in the tuning section and start reading. Many different methods, but is generally regarded as the premier tuning solution for the LS1. We can even tune for the MAF sensors these days with the new enhancements available, and not be taking a shot in the dark.

great info!
anyone else input would also be greatly appreciated....
tuning section, duh, why didnt i think of that. so no HARDware is required for SD? no parts to buy?

don't spend damn near $300 on a lid. just use a silicone hose and butt the 85mm MAF to your current lid. its almost the same as getting an 85mm lid.That what i did.
With speed density it is my understanding that you have to get it retuned when ever the weather changes (summer, fall, winter, spring). thats why i'm not going speed density.
if you want to make more power get rid of those Spaghetti Long Tubes. Get some Kooks 1 7/8" x 3.5" and some 3.5" duals.

so what are the advatages? just more flow cause no maf?

Tuning speed density with a wideband is quick, and it is effective at showing exactly how much air is coming into the engine and going out. The computer doesn't have a whole lotta control over the airflow...it can only really deal with how much fuel to add and when to add the spark. The MAF was calibrated to work with the stock intake and exhaust, and it works quite well under those circumstances. When you start doing mods, this calibration doesn't cut it anymore.
It is basically the most effective way to tune your car quickly, and the throttle response is quite nice as well. It'll just help you squeeze every last bit out of your setup...
