Default Input Needed on Honeycomb for lS7 MAF Sensor

Need guidance! I have a '04 CTS-V with an LS6 that has a FAST 102 intake and I am in the process of upgrading my intake to a custom 4" tube. I'm ditching my LS6 MAF sensor and installing a new blade LS7 MAF sensor. I have HP Tuners which I will be using to recalibrate.

From what I've read adding a honeycomb before the sensor will greatly improve my MAF readings and reduce turbulence. Question is does the size of the screen make a big difference?

Here are the two options I'm looking at, either the spectre MAF holder with an added honeycomb:

PARED WITH THIS

Or the slightly more expensive route with just this:

The e-bay one is appealing to me because it has a machined recess for the screen but the comb cells seem really large to me, would I be better off with a small comb size from Saxon PC?


Thank you in advance for any feedback!

You are probably wasting your time and money.

The smoothing is a good thing, but mostly when you have large sharp bends right by your maf sensor. Your airbox setup would allow for a nice signal as there isn't much of any corruption if you use a nice filter. On a Camaro, it is more of an issue because of the way the airbox and filter setup on them is. Yours is a lot better of a setup.
Just remap the mass air frequency table and call it a day..
