Default To those pushing over 430 rwhp...

What do I do with my stock maf. Do you guys just port yours, or is there a certain brand you buy that will actually help? I test airflow for a living, and can honestly say that the stocker will not flow near as much air as one of those 85 mm jobs. IMO, the stock maf flows less than the TB, especially a Shaner S2. I will be getting Stage 2 heads from !$#@@$ this winter and am trying to get prepared with everything else I need. TIA...

Thanks Verbs. I see some of the guys with the big cubes are going with the SLP, but for now, the ported maf will do it.

Don't forget the intake opening on your manifold isn't that big either. Port the MAF all you want, but the intake will still be a restriction too.

Hey guys, just wondering what part of Atlanta you guys are from. I was wondering if there are any upcoming f-body events around the area.

Thanks,

Jason

You should run a stock unported descreened MAF for best results.
