Default Is it worth the $$: 100mm MAF

I have been looking into purchasing an OTRCAI, a 100mm LS3 style MAF and porting the TB for my car's next upgrade (possibly a new cam too...). I've searched around for results on the 100mm MAF, lots of the info seemed old (preliminary testing) or inconclusive to make me sway in any direction.

My current setup: 2006 GTO LS2 M6

CAI inc. intake
Stock GM 85mm MAF
Stock GM 90mm TB
Stock LS3 Manifold
TEA LS3 Heads, milled .030" to 66cc's (10.9:1)
Comp LSL lobes (227/235 @.050)
1.75 headers to 2.5" magnaflow catback

made 460+hp and over 410tq

My question is, for the price, is a 100mm LS3 style MAF going to be worth the money? Anyone have any experiences with TSP or Lingenfelter 100mm MAF's?

Please chime in and help a bro out, thanks ahead of time.

With you still running a 90mm TB, I'd stick with the stock MAFS., and just port your factory TB.

If you go with a 100mm MAFS you'd also need to factor in getting it tune for the new MAFS. IMO, wait until you upgrade to a FAST 102 intake with a +95mm TB..

I would stick with the stocker for now too, but if you ever do choose or need to change it for more flow You could go SD and not run it. I was very hesitant to do this on my car and did alot of research on it. With a good SD tune the car runs great, You wouldn't know it is SD and now I have no intake restiction either. Not saying go out and do this tomorrow but if the need every comes it is possible with a good tune.
