MAF ends causing rev limiter problems?
MAF ends causing rev limiter problems? Has anyone heard of aftermarket MAF ends causing rev limiter problems? It hits rev limiter (set at 6500 on an LS1) in the 2-3 shift pretty badly before it shifts. I have reprogrammed the computer to settings where it should not have this problem, but it continues. I have heard that aftermarket maf ends could change engine characteristics that may cause something like this. Any ideas??? TIA Ryan
Re: MAF ends causing rev limiter problems? Thanks for the replies.
ZYouL8R - do you know how it reduces inline pressure? It seems strange that an intake component would affect something like that, but that is what several techs have told me.
I will put the stock ends back on to see if it will cure this problem

Re: MAF ends causing rev limiter problems? I've seen cars do the exact same thing completely stock.
My 99 SS would hit the limiter if ran it in D instead of OD.
If the car is hitting the limiter... then check the fluid level with the engine running. If that's ok, then raise the limiter.
Lastly, if you think it's the MAF ends... there easy to "uninstall" to check your theory.

Do you think stock internals can handle a higher rev limiter?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hehe.. I've proven that it can handle 6600 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Anything above that, I wouldn't recommend.. but my car use to live between 6200-6600 at the track due to my UT-4600 converter. I now have a more 'sane' TP-4200.
BTW: This car is my daily driver, and was my only car till 6 months ago.
