Default Need info on MAF sensor with 90mm fast intake

Hey guys I need to know what is the best thing to do with the maf sensor when going to a fast 90/90mm set up i have a LS1 harness which has the seprate IAT and a stock 78mm maf sensor I have a Granitelli (I know its spelled wrong) which looks to be the same as stock size I dont want to have the 78mm restriction between the throttle body and the filter what is out there in the 90mm ID range that will work with my setup. The truck is a 02 S10 with a LS2 A4 MS3 cam mild ported Ls6 heads long tubes 3400 converter. So what can I use for a MAF sensor.

85mm full size truck MAF will get you closer and they are cheap. You can get a used one around here with low miles to test for about $35

If you have tuning software, you could set it up SD. For myself, I consider a tuning system as important as the mods I have, it not more. I'm not sure your MAF is really a restriction though. Don't forget if you add a new MAF, you are going to have to tweak the MAF data and tune it.

Thanks again for the input guys. My Brother does my tuning with his wide band and HP Tuners, I know what ever I use it will have to be tuned for my setup. But how will the 78mm maf not be a restriction in a all 90mm setup. I was just wondering if they put a 90mm maf sensor stock on anything that will work with my setup without having to buy a aftermarket maf. And yes I have concidered going SD just trying to look at all options.
