is their ANY benifit of going with a granatelli maf?
i know a couple of ecm tuners and they have nothing good to say about them.

i would do a z06 maf...is it the same? i had a slp maf and my tuner had nothing but problems

What mods do you have? Plan to have?

Personally I wouldn't touch the MAF. Maybe descreen it, but that's all.

DO NOT use it on a stock or bolt on car. It will cause problems. Use the stock one.

Stick with the stocker unless you are planning on going 85mm 85mm 3x4 90mm 90mm

i learned my lesson long ago with the granatelli. i was curious if everybody had the same experiense as me.

Do you have access to a tuner? If so, what kind? (i.e., hypertech doesn't count...).

**** i turned mine off! no maf!

I ditched my computer because it has too much resistance.

Dont mess with it. not worth the money/time.

I'm building up an '03 vette longblock with a 90mm tb. I already bid on an SLP MAF on Ebay, but now I keep hearing about people having problems with the SLP MAF. I plan on having a completely custom tune when the engine is complete. Do the problems with the SLP MAF arrise from a the need to retune after the mod, or are people actually having problems with the accuracy of the SLP units' measurements. Does the SLP have a devider down the center like stock?

Here is why I ask because a larger MAF acts much like a ported TB. It increases throttle response, and has the effect of allowing for greater hp by means of parasitic vacuum. Just like in every other MAF application.

In other words, we're talking about standard hot rod techniques people.

To elaborate, although a 75 mm MAF is not a huge restriction, it isn't very free flowing either, exactly like a stock tb. Once you increase the flow of the MAF, as long as you have a lid that can support it, the motor will be able to pull more air with less resistance, just like any other ported component in the intake track.

Now, it doesn't come without it's disadvantages. It's expensive, in a cost/performance ratio, for one (somewhat like a ported or aftermarket intake). Second, it won't work perfectly without tuning. That is crucial to MAF success in any application, ls1 MAF is no exception. Again, these are characteristics that you have to weight against your entire combo to see if a MAF is really right for you.

In addition, stick with the factory ls6 MAF (which is actually manufactured by Delphi). They are most consistant for a reason.

the slp one is a stock gm 85mm maf with a resistor soldered in between the bars. IF you get it for a good price just unsoldered the res. and you will be good to go. But you are going to need your pcm retuned

whats the resistor all about?

Probably Tweaks The Out-put Of The Intake Air Temperature Sensor So That The Ecu Thinks The The Air Is Colder Than It Actually Is To Allow More Timing Advance, Hence Extra Hp. Talk About Some Stone Age Tuning. Why Don't We All Just Tweak Our Fuel Pressure Regulator While We're At It?

What size is the LS6 MAF and will it hook up to a stock wireing harness? I see you have a red hose on it is that needed for the install? TIA

I went with the ls6 one from PACE, where it's all from: the MAF, the pig tail connector harness (including IAT sensor built-in), and the transition rubber component.

I like the characteristic you can purchase all that is required from just one place, not to mention a place that not only is familiar with the sort of component replacement but also have a history of great success.

The slp harness only has 3 wires and is for the maf signal the MAF its self has 5 terminals 2 are for the IAT which is not used
