Default Maf?

How many people use the stock MAF on their cars?

Also how many have done any modifications of some sort?

the only thing i would do is descreen it. i was not going to do it. but my tuning guy said that it was good for a few horses. but as far as anything else nope leave it alone. just descreen it but do not buy an aftermarket one its not worth it.

Yes most of the time an aftermarket MAF is not worth any real gains.

96capricemgr this is exactly what he needed. i didnt see any real gain from descreening my MAF, but jeremy the guy who tuned my car said it was worth something, so i said why not. and i trust jeremy cause he has been tuning car for 9 years, so he knows what he is doing. and he only does gm vehicles. and he picked me up some real power when he tuned my car like 31hp and twenty some torque. but either way i would never buy a aftermarket MAF, just a waste of money to me.
