Texas Speed 100mm MAF
Texas Speed 100mm MAF I have heard that it is harder to tune LS motors with non-GM MAFs. (That info could be completely false. I really don't know a lot about tuning.) That being said, is the MAF in question a good one or is it know to have problems. I am bringing my car to get tuned professionally, and I just want to try and make it as easy for my tuner as possible.
The only reason why I want to go with the 100mm MAF is because I just bought a FAST 102 intake and throttle body, so I don't want to restrict the intake with an 85mm Z06 MAF. Its going to be going on a 383 LS1.
Thanks in advance to any help I can get.

You need to purchase an airflow straightener if your maf doesn't already cone with one. Makes a world of difference in regards to tuning and actual real world results.

Anytime you change the MAF to a different size you need to retune, it doesn't matter whether it is a GM one or not. The 85mm MAF is good for about 450HP I believe. You can check to see if it is a restriction by looking at the MAP value at full throttle, it should be close to atmospheric.

What are you going to use for an induction set up?
A traditional lid is going to be a bottleneck before that giant MAF, and you'll have all sorts of poor airflow issues...
Yes it is, sorry I didn't mention that. I'm also getting the FTP 104mm lid to go along with it. Wanna make sure I have good air flow and it's not restrictive.

Also I'm not going to be the one tuning the car. I have no clue how to read tables and I'm not about to learn on a car I have dumped thousands of dollars into. I just want to make it easier for the guy tuning it. If that means buying GM, then I'll do that. But if I can get away with aftermarket I would rather do that.

Verdad Gallardo Either from the manufacture, the supplier or maybe google it. Back when people started using the Z06 maf, the customer supplied me with the Z06 dump file, and it made tuning the maf simple, other wise you are constantly adjusting from the hz vs kpa area until you get it right..
If you purchase the MAF from us, we will supply you with a start-up file for HP Tuners. Make sure to get it with the Racetronix MAF-001 conversion harness because a newer style card MAF is used in that housing and won't have the same plug as your factory harness.

I appreciate everyone's help. Question has been answered. So with that being said.
