I have every confidence that if you'll talk to Jayson he'll get you straightened out even if you don't spend $3000 there. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I agree, the '98-'02 MAF's are all the same I have checked my '98 with a friends '02, but I do know people who have gained with a 85mm MAF! why? I have no idea but in my case it worked as well, it just seems that some cars respond well to the 85mm MAF where as some gain nothing and others even loose HP we may never know why!

Yup, I have a 00 and a 02, and the stock MAF is the same on both cars..
I don't know how all of these guys are measuring 85mm, unless they are mesuring OD, and not taking the MAF internals into account..

Like I said, I am not trying to bash. The things I said were from my own personal experience. And I do agree that there are many people who always say MTI this MTI that, but I think its kinda strange I live in houston and have never met any of them. Like I said, all these MTI fans have either strokers or h/c. Now as far as that stuff goes MTI very well MIGHT be the best,but for something like a tb I would say go elsewhere.
No hard feelings,

MTI installed a Corsa exhaust and a carbon air lid for me right after thanksgiving. The service was great, the mechanic who installed the parts was meticulous and it only took 2 hour! To say the least I was very pleased.

It worked for me!
Look at the dyno results I have got.
All dynos were made back to back.
1) Heads, cam (215/221), stock PCM (look at the sig for more detail) = 360 rwhp
2) Like the above + SLP MAF = 361 rwhp
3) Like (1) + HPP3 = 377 rwhp
4) Like (1) + Hpp3 + SLP MAF = 391 rwhp

I installed a GMAFS and went too rich, they sent me a 5% lean unit & i'm now running a 13.2-4 a/f. It changed my et. from 13.12 to 12.90. BOB

Wow, that was an exercise in futility. I take all this time bolting up the SLP 85mm MAF (screenless) and dialing the a/f ratio in perfectly with the MAFT and I show 0 gain! As a matter of fact, it was a slight loss.
Everything else was the same in testing. Air was nearly identical. O2s were .900mv in both MAFs (stock, unported, screenless MAF), timing was 26 degrees in both applications. L-Trims were at 0% for both MAFs. Everything was the same except for the physical size of the MAFs.
I guess this goes to show that a 400 rwhp motor does not need any more airflow than the stock unported MAF will give it. Any gains by running a ported MAF most likely will come from additional timing or getting a more ideal a/f ratio. Sorry for the bad news. I was hoping for at least 5 rhwp gain. Good thing I borrowed the 85mm MAF and MAFT from Judson. I would be pissed to spend all this money to go the same speed or slower.

You get the feeling Pat G's info, like much common sense, is timeless. I think here we are working with physics laws, which are irrefutable.
