Default QUESTION: ls1 to ls6....and 85mm MAF

I have a 99 SS w/LT's, LID, filter, CAI, loudmouth CB. I had to remove the 85MM MAF as it was playing hell with my fuel trims, as soon as I put the stock MAF back on everything smoothed out again...I am planning on installing the
ls6 intake and I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on weather the 85MM MAF will perform better with this intake, I sure hate seeing that thing sitting on my workbench ever day.

85mm MAF's are really a waste unless you are running big hp, keep the stocker and just sell that beotch for some more mod money
