It does not replace the MAF per se, it replaces the stock
1-bar MAP sensor which is unable to read boost. The MAP
sensor is the speed density basis (w/ RPM and IAT).

I don't think most belt driven blowers make more than 15PSI
and 15PSI is more than enough for your 550HP (given the
proper supporting mods) so probably a 2-bar would do.

In any case you will also be wanting a custom OS tune
to take advantage of the higher manifold pressure &
sensor.

Take your time and plan it out carefully.

part # for 2-bar sensor is:

12615136

list price is $91.64
but if you know somebody that works at a gm dealership or a garage/shop that has an account with a dealership you can get it for dealer cost which is $57.28

DO NOT goto advance or autozone, they will give you a sensor that is suppose to be a direct interchange for the gm part #. it even looks like the 2-bar, but it will be a 1-bar sensor. I've already been through this, so spend the extra couple of dollars!!!!
