i put a z06 maf on my t/a and now the it seems to be running rich. when i put the stock one back on it was fine. just when the new maf is on it runs rich. any ideas of what to do? maybe a tune or something?

Yeah I bought my z28m m6 with a delphi maf its prob the one off of a zo6 or a regular vette but im not sure never seen one up close, My dyno runs i was really rich, wish I could find a stock maf for cheap.
i guess i was figuring a bigger opening would mean more air. but i think i might have figured out the problem, tell me what ya'll think. the meter is bigger and reading more air at the sensor so it is telling the comp to send more fuel, but my stock t.b. and intake won't allow that much air to be sucked in. i put my stock one back on but later down the road when i have a different t.b. and intake and cam and heads would it be beneficial to use this maf or just keep the stock? is what i said make sense or am i just way off?

It will only read as much airflow as the throttle body is flowing. Since the throttle body is only 75mm......... you see a problem yet?
It's true that it flows more, but the z06 MAF , well actually the z06 PCM, is calibrated for the values it will be sending out. You wouldn't put volkswagen 02 sensors in your LS1 would ya?
When you upgrade the rest of the intake tract to 90mm stuff, it will be benificial, but also need tuning. I plan on picking one up when I put my new motor together, for now I plan on running the 90mm intake/tb with the STOCK MAF/bellow.
