Does Corvette MAF Sensor Change Produce Noticeable Gains? Hey guys! I'm buying intake system parts for my vette (Blackwing, and High Flow Duct) and I was wondering if changing the MAF sensor to a 1000 CFM really helps without reprogramming the engine??? Any inputs?
I would leave your stocker in there and leave the screen on it. It is a hit or miss game that you play when you swap out MAF's and tinker with them. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it is a tuning/driving on-going nightmare.

Yep the stocker is good for 600bhp or so.
Changing the MAF to an aftermarket one can confuse your PCM by giving a wrong air flow reading thus causing your car to run leaner. This means on a stock car you may pick up a few HP however it's all a lie and mis-information on how it is acheived. As by tuning you can get the same result but without the need to confuse the PCM.
Also if you add such a MAF to a modded car without tuning you may well run dangerously lean which would increase the risk of detonation and a recked engine.
