NX MAF for C5.....when? Well, in the last 36 hours, I have searched the web over learning as much as possible about nitrous. Still undecided about a few things. I don't intend on running more than 100 shot, maybe 125 wet or dry. I have seen all the arguments for each. It is just for fun, no racing here. Totally stock except I have a wb and tuning ability. I am still saving up so I can get all the safety stuff. I am looking hard at the NX MAF kit but from the searches I have done, it looks like it is only available for the Camaro/Firebird. When will it be ready for the C5? Also, does the Maximizer replace the need for a TPS switch and window switch. Thanks

As for moving the MAF, I had not even think about that. I am not even sure how that could be arranaged. Let me know about a price. thanks,

As of right now there are only 2 Single peice MAF parts out there.. I posted up a couple of picture of our latest one on a C6 vette. Here they are.
Right now I am going back to the drawing board to update this part..

I don't think it would work as well in the C5 as in the F-Bodies. The C5 MAF is pretty far from the throttle body. The N2O and fuel would have to go through the airbridge first. I have always heard you want a wet shot to be a lot closer to the throttle body than that.
Actually,
The distance is not a problem.The induction will suck the nitrous and fuel in at such a speed that it can not create any problems.Its just like using this kit on the LT1.
It has to go around a turn.No problem.

I am no expert by any means and don't want to
but I am pretty sure you have the MAF kit for a Camaro and Firebird. I confirmed with Dave today that the C5 MAF nitrous kit is still being engineered. Maybe he will chime in again. In any case, I have discussed with him my plans and he has made his recommendations and I will be purchasing a new one from him after payday. Thanks for your offer and good luck with the direct port setup.Jim Kay

for sure. i apologize for being misinformed. the guy that sold me that kit must have not known what he was doing. he told me that the kit was perfect for my c5 and i took him at his word. like i said i have not installed the kit yet, so i did not get a chance to prove him wrong. thanks for the heads up though. im glad to know that i need to sell it to a camaro/firebird guy and not a c5 guy.thanks

Same, The car was a C6 Vette.. But the sensor measured the same. At least the part I needed measured the same. I think they are the same size through out but did not measure the part I cut off the throw into the shrader. Here is a pic before epoxying them together.

Rick,why not have an option for the Maf kit to run this type of trick MAF for a 90TB?U could make them out of plastic,with the 2 fittings on the bottom like this alum one and sell it as an option...
I think u would sell a shiat load of these puppies
