Default Descreened 85mm SLP MAF Question

Should the SLP 85mm MAF be descreened for running the NOS 5177 dry Kit? I've been told that is needs to be done because the screen would freeze up and slow or stop the proper flow of nitrous.
truth or myth?

Not sure if its better to descreen it cause it made my car with the NOS Drykit run very lean. So you might want to autotap it after you do this.

I know bringing up an OLD post however I've got the same question that this guy had. I'm running a SLP 85mm MAF and from reading, if spraying a dry shot, the MAF needs to be descreened.

Is this true with the SLP MAF? I don't have my stock one anymore otherwise when I spray I would switch MAF's


Thanks

I have tried it both ways and do not think it makes much od a difference as far as N2O is concerned HOWEVER it does tend to lean you up a bit so I would think that would be BAD on a dry kit. My .02 cents...

I'm assuming I could get it tuned with the 85mm MAF descreened. The shop I deal with done my tuning in the past via LS1 Edit. I was thinking it would make things run lean
