Update MAF kit SPY Photo.
Nice engineering Ricky. A very nice piece. Can I have your Job? One thing, I noticed though it looks like your using NOS Powershot noids with NX stickers on them?
Joking, just teasing. I meant the good stuff, though.

That thing is super-clean. Great job on this one Ricky!

Anyway those solenoids are our small style purge type noids .078 Nitrous and .125 fuel, should deliver 200hp time will tell.... C5 Vette is in the shop and test install should start late today or tommorrow.

This thing is very good looking in person. The design and finish are both top notch.
I am always curious to hear from the people that don't like certain products, but this one is a little confusing. The MAF is clean, compact, and you don't have to mount the solenoids. So I wonder why this guy doesn't like it.
Eeven Robert likes it and he is a die hard dry fan, lol.....just messing with ya Robert.

Function over form, and it fails the function part even though it looks nice.
Way too much money just to start a fuel jacuzzi in your plenum. I would never run a wet system on an LS1 and especially not spraying fuel there. A simple nozzle and a single solenoid can do the job twice as good in dry configuration.
I also wouldn't run a MAF either, but that's another story. Thing looks to be only slightly more restrictive than the usual MAF gear.
Let's see:
overpirced check
restrictive check
can't hide it check
fuel jacuzzi check
backfire in intake pending
I qualify my overpriced statement by comparing it to equipment for a dry system that will do a better job. No matter what it costs, it's too much.

Sounds like this guy could get a nitrous kit for free, and that would be too expensive..... can't please everyone I guess.
Nice design though, I'd love to be the test mule for the f body version!

I also wouldn't run a MAF either, but that's another story. Thing looks to be only slightly more restrictive than the usual MAF gear. I have still yet to see a wet system create a "jacuzzie" in an intake when used properly. What exactly do you mean by "A simple nozzle and a single solenoid can do the job twice as good in dry configuration"? I also don't see how it can be more restrictive than the "usual" MAF gear, and what exactly are you calling the "usual" gear?
Let's see:
overpirced check Depends on your definition of what a good price is.
restrictive check Still don't see this one, and I've looked it over in person
can't hide it check I agree w/ you on this one, but the first time you use it there will be people with enough knowledge to know you have it.
fuel jacuzzi check Still have yet to see it when system is used properly
backfire in intake pending Again, this is usually do to operator error, not the system.
I qualify my overpriced statement by comparing it to equipment for a dry system that will do a better job. No matter what it costs, it's too much. This is simply a matter of opinion, which is cool. I guess I can always count on there being someone to debate the dry vs. wet issue other than Robert

Outdooricon- The LT1 has a 3 piece MAF, which is what our original MAF system was designed for, so you can use it on your car.
After you do all of the cutting, how is it all held in place? That's the only thing I'd be skittish about is messing something up getting this to fit. I'd like to see a dyno test too. This would be GREAT though, esp. since I have an 85mm MAF on the way.
Didn't mean to upset anyone personally. I was just stating what I know as fact plus my own opinion... which everyone has.
I guess I'm not for real then.
I haven't seen one of you nitrous wizards with great experience explain how you keep fuel from settling in the LS1 plenum area.
You don't need a stand-alone to run MAF-less FYI.
