Default 85mm maf

ok i have the slp 85mm maf on my car it throws lean codes every once in awhile, like 1 every week or so, yesterday when it was hot and drivinga few hundred miles it threw codes about all day which is no big deal get out the preadtor and clear them, I know that the 85 mm maf is designed to make the engine run lean at higher rpms which the factory tune is rich at higher rpms. so do i need to add some fuel at wot to keep the codes down or just leave it as it is and clear codes when they come up? will adding fuel ruin the power that the slp maf makes

List the mods you currently have. If you have more than a lid and exhaust, I would say put the stocker back in and sell the SLP MAF. It does more harm than good after a header install and other goodies. Especially when it comes to tuning your car.

I just installed an 85mm Delphi and have not had any issues yet although I have only ran it a short distance. I am on vacation now but I am curious if longer runs would produce the same results you have experienced. I only have been messing with the induction (FTRA, lid, Filter, bellows, ported TB) and not the exhaust.

I am not sure how good the SLP tech support is but have you given them a try?
