Lightbulb MAf installed backward cause problems?

well I pretty much gave up on my LT1 because it was running so badly, and started work on my ls1, I was gonna try swapping my ported LT1 maf ends for my LS1 maf ends, when I noticed the maf had been in backwards the whole time! could this cause a car to run like sh*t?

I dont think so because mine was on backwards after i put on my CAI and i didnt notice till after my run at the track. I switched it before the next race and it performed exactly the same. But go ahead and put it in the right way and see if it makes a difference on yours.

erm..

check ignition:

ign. coil
OPTISPARK
plug wires (burned boots/cracking)
sparkplugs (use platinum ONLY on these motors)

other than that, check fuel system...

no really, you don't need platinum plugs on these cars.

Some times there is more ignorance than tech on these boards

Not to mention the fact the guy asked something about his MAF and this guy tells him his opti is broke...
