I had the same problem. It was a real tight fit with the stock maf even heating a little it was still tough, but it went on.... the good thing is it will probably never come loose.

They changed the design of their lids at the beginning of the year if anyone remembers. Heres the thread about them being out of stock while the new ones were being made and info on how to get it to fit (heat up the neck with a hairdryer 
)

i guess its better to have a tight fit then a leaking loose fit,
the maf is the same size as the lid opening just making it a very tight fit.
I have done hundreds of bolts ons to lt1 and ls1 over the years, from headers to intakes to heads and cams, and have not had a problem fitting.

Go to post #17...I did not realize that the lid was supposed to fit like in the pic...The left clip on mine kept on popping off...After seeing this, it fixed the problem...
