Default Porting Maf Ends and Throttle Body

I know this has been a topic of discussion for some time now, but I just want to get things straight. I have a '98 Z28 with a 4L60E transmission (stock tranny). What do the terms A4 car and M6er mean. I have already have hand ported the stock maf ends and I'm sending my throttle body out this week to Bauer. Does my car apply to the low hose pressure going to the transmission that has caused premature transmission failure since the maf is reading less air. I have the HPP3 but I am told it doesn't do enough to correct this problem. Please help me understand whether I need a Maf Translator, which port I'm supposed to go to,or an Autotap (their function) to solve this.

Thanks Guys I really appreciate,

A4 (automatic 4 speed) M6 (manual 6 speed)...as far as the MAF ends go...I read that they arent recommened for automatics. For what reason I dont know, but if you wanted to do it anyway, you are going to have to get it tuned. Im guessing with a MAFT, LS1 Edit, Autotap, or some other method. I would assume that you are changing the fuel air mixture and for automatics, it messes them up some how because Ive never heard anyone complain about doing that to a manual equipped car. Well hope that helps.
