Time for a new MAF... just go with stocker?
Time for a new MAF... just go with stocker? Sup guys. Check engine light came on a week ago. Had a friend scan it and the conclusion is that its time for a new MAF sensor. Makes sense i guess, car just hit 103,XXX miles 
. Should i just go with a stock replacement? I know that getting an aftermarket MAF isnt really necessary until 500hp. Would a 2002 Z06 MAF be a good alternative, or would that need to get tuned to be effective?
Car needs to pass smog, and im going out of country netx weekend for three months, this needs to get fixed ASAP. Thanks.

Oh and i thought of the other question: will any MAF pass CA Smog?

Emissions shouldn't be changed, so you'll pass smog just fine (they probably won't even notice), but it's run on the Z06 also which is smog legal.
i have an SLP 85mm MAF for sale if your interested!! here's the link:

if the car runs fine it is fine. it may be out of "spec" but who cares. its not like you are going to loose a tenth at the track or anything. the LS1 dosent even need a MAF to run. if you dont belive me go unplug your MAF and drive around town, it wont idle very well but when you are driving around you wont even notice it
