Default LS7 maf specs?

Anybody have any specs on the LS7 maf?

size, airflow at 12K hz, can it work on a ls1/6 based pcm?

Thanks

It is integrated into the airbox. I think that makes your other 2 questions irrelevant.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I just saw the price when searching for some parts and was hoping it could be used on a ls1/6 car... guess not, well at least easily.

It looks to me like knowledge of the cross-sectional area of the section of the inlet that houses the LS7 MAF, which should be easy enough to determine, would allow anyone to install it in any custom made inlet that fit their configuration. I guess the stock LS7 runs very well, however, i.e. 490, or so, rwhp, per the Monte Carlo SS posted on this forum, with an 85mm conventional cylindrical MAF.

This is true, however, you would have to duplicate the exact size and configuration of teh inlet area, not just the cross-sectional area because GM had lots of problems getting the Hitachi unit to function the way they wanted it too and actually relocated it at least once after making the decision to go into production.

That's good info. to know. It sounds like the easy and cheaper way would be to just use an 85mm MAF like the Monte SS LS7 installer did. The LS7 MAF, I guess, is only about $65 but the ZO6 inlet that it is supposed to slip into is a couple of hundred and ,from John's info., a guy should use that piece even if he only uses a small part of it.

The easiest way to do it is to run it speed density.
