do need a better maf do u guys think i need a new maf sensor with heads, cam, fast 90mm intake and tb combo? im just wondering if the aftermarket ones are better, or just a waste of time/money. i know 16 years olds waste alot of money on pointless stuff too.
I have seen a lot of people post they have had gains of 2-3 HP so thats not a waist for 180 bucks in my book. I am buying one this week. More airflow equals more power at least last time I checked. I could never get a solid answer as to why its considered a waist when you gain HP? You wont get a straight answer. You will hear the stock one is good up to xxx HP and thats all good but if I can get a bigger one that makes more power then why not buy it?
don't do it. when you get it all on there just get it tuned. you'll need a tune anyway after you install that cam so go to a reputable tuning shop w/ LS1.edit or hptuner and they may be able to pull you out over 20 hp

$180 for 2hp? You think that's a good deal? That'd buy you a ring and pinion, or 1 soft compound tire...and that'd do a helluva lot more than 2hp. i found a z06 maf on ebay for 20 shipped and it was pretty much brand new, i was getting my car tuned soon and the stock maf was bad anyways.
i don't feel much of a difference to say tho

You won't feel a difference with a MAF change. I would only change it for two reasons, the first being that the stock MAF is damaged, and the second being if another MAF would make tuning easier. I don't think either are the case for you.

Eventually you will get to that point to where you get less for the money. This isnt it though. Yeah you might get a ring and pinion but after you pay for install then how much are we talking? Ok by that time I could of gotten a Nitrous kit which is the real bang for the buck.
stock or sd tune. stock with a tune after you get that cam will surpass any aftermarket maf, that is hard to tune. you could just save your money get tuned...then have them go speed density !maf
