90/90 w/SLP 90mm MAF
90/90 w/SLP 90mm MAF Just got a F.A.S.T. 90/90 installed with SLP 85mm MAF. It goes in for tuning next Thursday. Would you de-screen it or keep the screen in it to smooth out the airflow? Keep in mind I do have functional ram air with a WS9 hood, so, my thoughts are that I won't get any extra power by de-screening it ... maybe even make it harder to tune for. I think this is probably already overkill (speaking from an airflow/intake stand-point) for my small cubed 347.
I just want to make sure it's optimally set up for tuning when I take it up to the dynojet on Thursday. Do you think leaving the screen in will actually give me better numbers by smoothing out the airflow? Or will it matter ... or even hurt it more. Any serious advice is greatly appreciated.
Also, I think this is an appropriate forum to post this in, since it's pretty technical in nature. I need an expert opinion. Your real-life experience means a lot to me.

It wont run any faster with the screen out. I have several non-screened 85mm MAFs fail due to one end of those small wires inside broken, probably due to vibration caused by turbulance/vibration in the MAF. The "screen" (flow straightener) should help eliminate that. We always put them on blown Vettes, those (blow-through) are harder on MAFs, and the "screened" versions have helped cut down on MAF failures in those applications.
Good luck, Ed

Can't ask for much more than advice from Ed Wright ... thanks a lot Ed. I appreciate you jumping right in and helping me out. Hope your weekend is good and I wish the best to you and your family.
