SLP MAF sensor question
#2
Eh, most people here would say no becuase the stock maf is capeable of supporting somewhere around 500 hp I believe. You won't gain much by going with an aftermarket maf. Spend the money somewhere else on something that will yield you much more of a gain.

As long as there is a gain is my only concern. If its worth 2-3 hp to ground then thats 180 dollars well spent to me. I just dont want to move backwars HP wise. I havent had anyone chime in and say it causes HP lose so I am going to get it I think. Thanks again for your help everyone.

Think about it like this then. If you swap to an LS6 intake over a stock ls1 then you will spend about 420 or so for a good 11-15 HP. Well for 180 bucks thats not bad bang for the buck ratio. For a FAST intake your gonna spend 700 and get 11HP more over an ls6 and thats still not that bad HP per dollar wise.

shouldnt need a tune with an slp maf if you dont have an ses light on related to the maf. the pcm adjusts for minor intake and exhaust changes on its own by adding more or less fuel, thats why you have a maf and 02 sensors

The only real problem I am having is that no one can actually say for sure that it hurt their car. People say its very little gain to no gain at all if any. In my mind its bigger and flowing more air and will not whack out my PCM so I know that if you increase air flow you increase power and you shouldnt need a major overhaul with a tune to make it work. If you do no one that has put it on their car has said otherwise. I know every car is different but the worst comment ive heard so far is no noticeable gain.
