Default Ported Maf

How much does this pick up the car? Trying to make a decision on weather I should buy it.

You will hear from several folks that running a ported MAF is a bad idea. I'm running a ported stock MAF and know of a couple other local guys running them as well with no issues. It's a hit or miss thing... more MISS then HIT. Gain wise nothing you would ever notice. To be on the safer side, I would just run your stock one.

Between none to maybe 2 Leave it alone, with it's screen. I believe the factory one is fine up to around 475hp and only a hindrance to boosted applications. If you MUST have something bigger/better, one of the Z06 (C5 gen) has one that I believe is nearly a direct swap in, I want to say you need a slight tune tweak to run it successfully though. I don't keep up much on the MAF setups, sorry Someone who knows for sure, chime in!

ONLY thing it does is make tuning harder.

Agreed, put the money in the car somewhere else
