Stock MAF or Upgrade? Aside from a new clutch going in soon, my engine is pretty much done.
383 forged block, AFR205 heads, 23x/23x ish cam, FAST/NW 90, LT w/cats, and tuned.
...still running the stock MAF with screen.
Some say the stock setup is good upto 500rwhp, others say differently. I've avoided messing with the MAF becuase of some of the tuning headaches I've read about.
So is it worth my time and money to upgrade the stocker, and with which one?
I'm thinking of the 85mm from PACE, and since I'm using HPTuners, I assume it would be best if I bought a non-calibrated MAF, copy the numbers from an appropriate tune and paste them into mine.
Other thoughs?

So you both saying an 85mm MAF uprade would be a benefit?
Trouble is, SLP's version states it is only for Stock Tune...my car is far from stock, as is the tune.
That leaves the 85mm non-calibrated version.
