Re: Patrick G are you saying....
Again, as posted numerous times above, you can safely run the popular 85mm MAFs like the Pace & SLP MAFs since they're claibrated. Your pcm won't be able to tell the difference between that and a stock unported MAF...and neither will your tranny. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
Patrick,
Thanks for all the info on my question. Thanks also to the others that chimed in with advice!! I will be putting the stock ends back on but first I gotta run it at the track Saturday with the ported ones. Test drove it today with no pinging. Its a shame that the MAF and PCM have that much control over so many aspects of engine/tranny operation. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
Colonel and all:
As you know, porting a mass air flow sensor increases the area of incoming air going across the hot wire sensors, thus tricking the MAF into reading less air. By reading less incoming air, the MAF sends a signal to the computer to lean out the mixture, increase timing and lessen transmission line pressure. The O2 sensors will communicate back with the pcm to richen the mixture based on long term data acquisition (hence the L-Trims increasing to a large positive number). The increased timing will remain high and will not back down and the line pressure will remain lower and will not go back up.
If you have a stock MAF and your car is running rich, you can lean it out with a MAF translator. If you only adjust the WOT setting, you will not affect timing or trans line pressure. So, if you turn the WOT pot a click or two lean, your A/F ratio should be where you want it to be without resorting to positive L-Trims, increased timing, and lower tranmission line pressure.
If you instead, adjust the MAFT base setting, this will change the whole landscape of how the MAF reads incoming air.
A calibrated GMS MAF or any of the popular calibrated 85mm MAFs should give the same timing, and trans line pressure readings as a stock unported MAF...so I guess I would say that you'd be fine with them.

Based on the Atap runs I made last night,I have to respectfully disagree with this statement.Timing with the MAFT set to 0/0,was definately lower on average,than with it set to 0/-4.I don't have the line pressure problem so I can't agree or disagree on that yet.I will log Maf flow rate with the ends & with the MAFT set to say -4% WOT with out the ends as soon as I get a chance.I suspect that the readings will be very close.

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
FormulaWS6: Yes a screenless stock MAF will work fine...that's how I run my car.
As far as WOT settings not affecting timing or line pressure, I haven't seen it. Of course, I've never needed to make more than 2 clicks rich or lean on the MAFT to get right where I need to be so I guess if you adjusted it more than that it might. Think about it this way, if you are running about 15-20% positive L-Trims, that means your MAF is reading about 15-20% less incoming air. That said, the pcm is probably calculating about 15-20% less load across the board. It's been my experience that trimming the WOT pot on the MAFT (to richen or lean out the WOT a/f ratio) has no affect on long term fuel trims (L-Trims). If there is no affect on L-Trims, then it seems unlikely for there to be much change in calculated load, timing, or transmission line pressure simply by turning the WOT pot alone. I could be wrong, but as I said before, I haven't seen it on 4 of my LS1 powered vehicles.

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
Patrick,
If I put the stock un-screened MAF ends back on, how much timing do you think I will lose (I can get 28 degrees now with the stock ported ends on my '01 Z28), and can I get it back by tuning with the MAFT? What are your thoughts as far as performance difference / gains between the 85MM MAF vs. the stock MAF? Is it worth the money?

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
mmiller:
Unfortunately, you will lose around 3-4 degrees of timing by putting the stock MAF ends back in. You can't get the timing back with a MAF Translator without lowering calculated load and transmission line pressure either.
You have two solutions: Install a HPP3 and use the power tuning with a stock screenless MAF (or calibrated 85mm MAF from Pace or SLP) or have a shop you trust (MTI, Ed Wright, Steve Cole, etc) add timing through programming. The ultimate scenario is to get your own LS1 edit program. The HPP3 will give you an easy 28 degrees of timing with a stock MAF (or 85mm MAF). With the HPP3 and a stock MAF, you can have 0% L-Trims, 28 degrees of timing and full transmission line pressure. Costs some coinage, but you will run faster, for a longer time.

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
The performance difference between a stock screenless MAF and a calibrated 85mm MAF on a 400 rwhp LS1 was 0 rwhp (when I dyno tested both a few months ago). I was shocked, but the screenless stock unported MAF was not a flow restriction (and that's with a lid and a ported throttle body on each side of it too). If you make more than 400 rwhp, then the 85mm MAF is probably a help, but on my car it made 0 more rwhp.

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
You want to leave the divider in the middle of the Mass Air Flow sensor, but I'm not sure what you mean about the Throttle Body. Porting the Throttle body is always a good thing...but the divider in the middle is the throttle plate and you need to keep that. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
Patrick, thanks for taking the time to post your experiences and knowledge about this subject. <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> The stock ends are back on for now, and other than the idle relearn, I don't notice a difference (SOTP) between them anyway..

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
I just removed my Granatelli and put my stock maf on. I lost alot of power but the shifts are much harder.
How can I get the best of both worlds? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
The only way to get the best of both worlds is custom programming. This way, you get as much timing as you need, the ideal a/f ratio, and full line pressure for your tranny. Costs some change, but it will get it all for you.
The reason why you feel a power loss with your stock MAF is because your pcm is going to need quite a few miles before it re-learns your new combo. The power will return...or at least most of it.

Re: Patrick G are you saying....
So, if I'm reading this right, you could lower the base setting on the MAFT and compensate the a4 line pressure problem with the hypertech shift firmness with no negative side affects?
